@bewildered,
New edition:
God said earthquakes are predictable
I repeat: God said earthquakes can be predicted when science is advanced enough (note 1).
The fundamental cause of earthquakes lies in human/animal anger, which produces unhealthful aura. At gods’ standing order, angels (not guardian angels of every human beings) disperse such aura and thus cause earthquakes.
There are three physical reasons for earthquakes, and the precursors (omens) of earthquakes can be detected very early on if science is advanced enough.
Note 1: When science is advanced enough, human beings use solar power as energy instead of electricity (note 2) or other energy sources. When Archimedes of Syracuse is born again in fifty years, human beings will start to learn how to use solar power. During past human civilizations, science was advanced for numerous times. Before learning to use solar energy, humans should study more about the surface of the sun and the 32-stanza chain reactions by which sun produces energy.
Note 2: In past civilizations, nuclear power was used widely for numerous times, but nuclear waste was never produced. Only modern humans produce nuclear waste. The reason for producing nuclear waste in modern civilization lies in an error in a fundamental formula (equation) for calculating nuclear power production.
