* All of the above can be answered by the simple fact that Shyamalan was intentionally making a B-Movie with an A budget.

So it's established that there are no coincidences -- it was a tagline for the film, if I recall correctly -- leaving us to conclude that God is responsible for basically everything in it. And if this is true, he is the epitome of jerkassery.

He traumatizes an entire family and an Indian veterinarian in various ways before the movie even starts -- then either sends or, through omission of action, allows a significant portion of humanity to be abducted by aliens. All so he can save Mel Gibson's son from the asthma he gave him in the first place and somehow restore Mel's faith in God in the process. Would've made more sense if he'd hated God more than he did at the start, because his theory of random chance went out the window, making it entirely clear that there was a directing force behind all the crappy stuff that happens to him and his family and the entire world. Absolute wallbanger.
* "God exists" doesn't mean "God is nice." The big guy might just want people to believe in him, even if it means screwing them over. Sure, Mel might hate God, but when you know that some omnipotent being controls everything what options do you have other than trying to stay on his good side?
* When the Reverend Graham and Merill are boarding up Bo's bedroom, look closly. The door goes inwards and there is a cab caused by the frame of the door between said door and the boards. And the wer'nt. even that many boards. In conclution, the aliens would still be able to get in through that door.
* What exactly were the military and police forces doing during this time? The movie makes only one mention of them the entire time, during the final newscast in which it is mentioned that ground forces are being mobilized across the globe. Yet, later, Merrill states that "a lot of people died". How, exactly? The aliens/demons really weren't that impressive. I've heard theories that perhaps they used very large amounts of their poison on population centers, but there's no mention of it. And again, where was the military?
* Military forces don't just appear where bad things happen. They have to be moved. And it seems likely they were moved in response to a potential threat before the threat materialized.... making it fairly easy for the aliens to attack where the military weren't.
