A man jumps from a plane without a parachute and when he reaches a great velocity God exercises His choice and drastically slows his fall. Funny Vam , isn't it ? Again God exercises His choice and cancels all His laws and there is mayhem ! Or better still , at times there are laws and at times there are none. God keeps on exercising His choice and man keeps on playing the fool , he doesn't get wet in the pool and doesn't get burned in the fire. Imagine a world without God's laws , a world in which He keeps on exercising His choice.
