Fact: some children are born blind.
Fact: a good father would not allow this to happen, if he could prevent it.
Fact: only an evil man would not prevent it if he could.
Question: is God able to prevent birth defects?

Thanks for adding "now". Hope you're right.

So, in
Acts 12:23, "the angel of the Lord smote him" implies, according to your claims, that the angel of the Lord is the devil. And the devil killed Herod because Herod "gave not God the glory". Mmmmmkay.

I thought God killed them, not Peter. So you think the devil killed them? For lying? Is the devil God's hit man? I'm really confused.

Perhaps you can give us the
infallible interpretation of the scriptures we've been looking at, from the original languages?
