The expression that God works in mysterious ways is a powerful statement actually. We expect God to be explainable in terms that we understand which is paradoxical really.

This is not so different from the ideas of karma.
It happens to be what I believe.
Is there like a bag of souls which gets ripped open everytime we need a few extra because of population growth?
