If God Were a Super Hero

After USAir flight 1549 ended up in the Hudson River last month with no loss of life, there were those elements of society that immediately seized on it as "proof" of God's existence. In the minds of these folks, the fact that there was a veteran pilot with 30 years of experience at the controls had absolutely nothing to do with it. And that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion--which is why I now point to the more recent crash in Buffalo as proof that God does NOT exist.

But getting back to the so-called "Miracle on the Hudson:" If it was truly God who saved those people, then why did He allow the bird strike to happen in the first place? Why didn't He just make the geese disappear BEFORE the plane even hit them? Or does He get some sort of sick pleasure out of scaring the shit out of innocent airline travelers?

So when a reader provided a link to the below comic, I thought it summed up my argument perfectly.
