As for quoting scriptures, I let the Bible speak for itself, even when it contradicts itself.
This is rather like deciding which of Santa's reindeers has the shiniest nose. But the overriding property of any supposed intelligent designer is that it is apparently deliberate. (A word which, in connection with the also presumed supernatural was something you took issue with recently, I remember.) After that there are issues around whether the Designer did a very good job (for instance any engineer worth his or her salt could do a better with the human knee or the eye; over 90% of species which have existed are now extinct; most of that which exists is cold dark and useless for life; most of the earth man cannot inhabit, or at least can't without his own ingenuity & etc) and so on.
I have no idea where you are off to.
I am sorry you have no idea.
The scriptures you quote in no way indicate that supernatural powers are available upon request.
That would be why Jesus said not to put God to the test. Since I actually quoted this just above, then the above is not something I have said.
There apparently are conditions and limits on Bible promises... That is apparently the way with the intelligent designer as well.
So tell us: what are the conditions and limits we may set on God, exactly?
