In the Bible, God is a strong and ever-present actor in the world of human affairs. He talks audibly, he inscribes on stone, he firebombs villages, he send his angels around, he turns people to stone, he stops the sun, he makes a new star, he creates new languages, he sends scourges and plagues, he kills people, he sends his son and gets him killed- all of this up to around 100 AD. Then something happens- or more accurately, nothing happens- God exits the stage, he goes completely silent, does nothing whatsoever.
To any person possessing a logical mind, this is a red herring. Why would an interventionist god suddenly become impotent? And remain so for 19 highly momentous centuries?
