And stop playing coy, I would like to assume you are not a complete moron and neither am I.
We can read about the power of god himself in the Old Testament. And the New Testament proclaims that Jesus Christ holds all of nature together.
Colossians 1:16-17
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Numbers 16:30-34
But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.”
^ This is probably what Pat Robertson was referring to when he made his statement about America deserving Katrina, and Haiti deserving their punishment as well. If you take the Bible as "the true word of god" then you should as well, or you could not call yourself a real christian. Good 'ol Pat is just being a "good Christian"
