1- Pray to God (whomever you may imagine him to be) asking for understanding
So if god gives understanding, as you claim, and all a person has to do is ask, why did you list points 2-6?
Wouldn't study and research indicate a lack of faith in the god you just prayed to?
James 1: 5- If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
So how do explain the same confusion now among the religious that has existed for millenia? Your god must suck at answering prayers...
