   In the case of generating plants it's due to the mutual interaction of a    
   conductor and a magnetic field moving in respect to the other.   
      
   I've never seen God turning the crank on the generator.

   On the contrary, the production of electricity in a generating plant is    
   purely intentional and deliberate, and I don't see God on the employee    
   roster.

   Moving magnetic fields as one example.  Something man is responsible for in    
   a generating plant.

   Proof?   
      
   - ---> Interest it here.   
      
   Somehow, I expect a case of circular reasoning.

   So, if I point to a daisy, and claim the daisy is there only because God    
   made it. How does that prove God made it?   
      
   Isn't that just an assertion lacking any support for the claim?   
      
   What you are expressing is the classic case of circular reasoning.
