1. God
2. The scientist

1. God
2. The scientist
When someone that does not believe in God stops to help someone in need, who really did it:

Man is both the greatest asset and the greatest enemy of mankind. If God intervenes for good things that happens, then why not intervene for the good in everything? How would he decide what and what not to intervene in? Why not intervene when innocent people get gased? In my opinion, man was created with the ability and intelligent to create and destroy, to help and to hurt. Man does both without goading or assistance from God. God assisted by giving the means to do it, it is up to us to do the rest.

I agree with that statement up to a point; however it's my belief that nothing happens on this earth that God doesn't allow to happen -- including each and every breath we take, every beat of our hearts, is given to us minute by minute.
Even the bad things happen because God allows it -- not necessarily because he wants it to happen or approves of it, but because he gave us the huge and powerful gift of choice. Along with that gift there has to BE a choice.
I don't believe that God "intervenes" in most occurrences unless we ask him, in faith, to do so.
We can do nothing without God.
In my opinion, of course.
