When are earthquakes most likely to occur in Italy?
The science of earthquakes is not there yet as to be able to predict earthquakes accurately. It is an highly inaccurate science. We can however use statistics, and this, although not timewise accurate, can predict earthquakes at different locations. All over the world there are approx 25.000 earthquakes of various magnitude every year. With increased tension in the zones where continental drift causes the different plates to collide, the risk of earthquakes increases. This tension builds up until it reaches a critical level. When the tension is critical, then even pretty small energydischarges can release the tension and we have an earthquake. There are many factors as to when the tension becomes critical and we can not measure this, only anticipate.

Is god powerful enough to stop earthquakes?
Earthquakes have occured in many parts of the world, with inhabitants of many religions. Recently there was one in L'Aquila in Italy, bastion of the Roman Catholic religion. If God (please note capital, as far as Christians are concerned) is powerful enough to stop earthquakes, it seems that he seldom exerts himself to do so.
