really not interested in a religious argument, but notice both you and"hajman" answered the choice question nicely, but sidestepped the real point. the unbelievibly horrendous vengence for the choice made. "i am a vengeful god". i guess so. hell of an attribute for a perfect being.
We didn't try to sidestep the main point. We tried to explain it. It's not God that creates death, but sin itself. God isn't responsible for the state of sin we live in now. We are. Adam and Eve introduced sin and death and suffering into the world, and mankind ever since has been choosing to take that over God. Whenever someone steals, or murders, or spreads terror, they are desiding to side with the sin that is now part of our world. Nature has also fallen due to sin's influence of imperfection from that day Adam and Eve took a bite of the fruit of good and evil. Our state of suffering isn't due to God's vengence, but rather due to sin existing in our world, and mankind's decision to continue chosing to sin. God has already offered a way out once we leave this world. But it's up to us to accept it.

To: Anyone that has the capability to think outside their world bubble...
Free will GUARANTEES that conscious man will cure the disease of death for all human beings...
Death will become optional and biological immortality will be the natural state for conscious beings...
We will achieve this through business demands for longer lives by the public...
Free enterprise business will bring forth this knowledge for the benefit of all humans...
Chorus from a song from RUSH...
We are young...
learning the things of the earth...
learning what our dreams might be worth...
learning that we are only mortal for a limited time...
