A lot of people believe that while there is a Creator, He does not intervene in the universe. He set it up, it is running like a clock full of natural controls, but He is off elsewhere doing God things. The Bible has a lot to say about this idea, especially in the first book in the Bible titled after its main character, Job. This literature is over 4,200 years old and directly addresses the idea of a God who is not there as opposed to a personal God. In the story, the narrator tells us that God and Satan agree on a bet. The bet is that if Job is afflicted with his children dying, losing his riches, sickened with terrible boils over his body that Job will curse God. God disagrees and takes Satan’s bet. This episode of the Bible Bard presents what this ancient book of the Bible says in its story - and it is shocking to hear!
