But you are forgetting about Sin entering the world. Sin (and Satan) is who should be blamed for cancer, sickness, pain, abuse, suffering and so on.  Sin is like the world's worst computer bug.  The only way to fix this "bug" is to ask the extreme "programmer" for the fix.  He offers a "fix" but it requires us to accept His fix for it, which is accepting that we cannot fix the bug ourselves and we need Him (Jesus) to come and do it for us.

Although God does care about our physical health and well being, He is ultimately much more concerned about our Spiritual well being.  God is eternal.  Our lives are going to end on this earth.  Death was a product of man's choice in the garden of Eden.  It pained Him that we made (and still make) the choices we do.  It is like we keep downloading software with bugs all the time.  God is willing to clean up our computer for us if we ask Him too but it would be better if we worked hard at keeping our software free of those "bugs."  I pray that God will help me live a sinful life.  I don't want to grieve Him, out of love for Him.  Once we truly understand the nature of God our attitude towards Him changes and in response we want to do everything we can to please Him and keep our lives, with His help, as "bug" free as possible.

Arg, you violated the unspoken "no preaching" agreement.

This exchange is over.

Sorry.  Someone asked about why God would create us with cancer, sickness etc.  This is my only explanation.  Do you have a better one?  It seems that those that believe in evolution just think this crappy world is all we have though.  Seems a bit hopeless to me.

This world and life is probably all we have. I wouldn't waste it being bullied into believing in some bullshit. Tell me, when you die, if you're met with pitch-black nothingness will you be sad that you wasted your life? And calling it a crappy world; isn't that essentially slapping god in the face?


I guess your right.  God has done many amazing things in my life so it is not really fair to call it "crappy."  But I had a pastor say that this life was the "closest to hell we will ever be" as Christians.  So, in a since this life is pretty "crappy" from that viewpoint!  Wink
