You don't have faith in God because God allows bad things to happen. Yet you post on a website that preaches freedom. You see a problem there?

Yes, I see a problem with a person who doesn't know me, who has no idea what I believe, what relationship I have with God, or anything else about me, to make such stupid conclusions.

I could make similar stupid conclusions about you, but I won't. It's not my place.

I didn't make up the natural laws of the universe that we can observe. I can only observe them and, in fact, must. Those alone don't tell me anything about why they are the laws, only that they are the laws.

The facts are what they are. Any outside meaning one wants to ascribe to them are either speculation or faith.

Actually the first sentence was supposed to have a question mark. It should have read: "You don't have faith in God because God allows bad things to happen? Yet you post on a website that preaches freedom. You see a problem there?

However you wrote above:

If God is so smart, all-knowing; the future, past, and present are all known to him, why did he create earth?

Sure, it all suppposedly turns out great in the end, but in the meantime, there are billions and billions of people who suffer greatly, all die, and tons of horrible stuff happens.

God does a Flood which accomplishes nothing. He sends part of the Trinity to earth to enlighten people and to get tortured and executed.

Why not just think, “I think I’ll just pass on creating this planet? It’s not going to turn out so well, and there will be a whole lot of sorrow that can be avoided. I don’t really need to see throats slit in the name of Allah.”

...which gives me ample reason for asking you that question.

Of course I asked you others which you were loathe to touch upon for good reason. You don't have any answers. But that doesn't stop you from asking those same type questions to creationists.

Why is that?
