The strongest argumentmost atheists have about Christianity is essentially this: "If God loves, he would end his suffering, unless he is omnipotent and all powerful if it is not to love, or he would suffer in the end .."
There are several ways we need to look at this problem. Of course, we will seek the Bible for answers, but we must also look at the world around us, and how the universe was created in order to understand God and his reasoning.
To understand whyThe suffering comes, we must understand the causes of suffering. It seems there are two main types of events that cause suffering in the world can be. The first we call natural evil, and the second, which we call man-made evils.
Mali is natural, the one that starts. These "bad" include natural disasters such as earthquakes, and diseases such as cancer.
If God was so loving and omnipotent, because he so earthquakes, famines, droughts,Cancer, sudden infant death syndrome, or a lot of other things?
The answer to this requires us to other things the Bible tells us to seek God It tells us that he is a moral God. It requires a clear demarcation between right and wrong, and that actions have consequences. The Bible tells us that God is perfect, which means that its establishment, breaks the rules must be followed. The universe in order requires, as its nature.
So he created a universe and aWorld order. Has laws that govern it. The speed of light, gravity, birth and death. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. All the things they learn in science classrooms of the school.
Science has shown us many things about how the universe was created. He tells us about the birth of stars, the creation of the planet, and, inevitably, as the land came to be. God created the universe in a way that leads to life, and at the end of the human race. Thus, weare volcanoes, earthquakes caused by tectonic plates that we move, we have extreme weather conditions. These are things that the Earth uses to maintain balance.
And 'God's fault that people in big cities right along fault zones where earthquakes occur frequently make the decision? And 'God's fault that we are building the city right under active volcanoes, hurricanes, or along the coast known? We should seek the causes of this "evil".
What about cancer,or contagious diseases? One could argue that God does not prevent passing and were not created in the first place.
Here too we can not wait for science. While the controversy is a very solid scientific theory of evolution. Although not fully understand the complete operation of him, nor do we have a detailed map of the evolutionary tree from start to finish, have shown that evolution occurs, and can not be ignored.
Evolution is aGod's greatest hits. He knew that in order to create man, he needs only to start with some single-celled organisms, and leave for a few billion years to develop. God is patient. He knew that we would one day what we are today.
However, in order to work for the evolution to create us, some things had to come as well. Unicellular organisms are still there. Some of these bacteria are incredibly useful, or necessary for us to survive. Butothers have developed in other directions, and was causing types of bacteria and viruses that cause the disease.
The process of evolution is correct himself. If a genetic mutation of the advantages of a creature, usually occurs in the gene pool, because this creature is most suitable for survival and reproduction. A negative mutation causes disease and death, perhaps, but makes it less likely that this creature will grow and spread the mutation negative.
In humans, however, wehave changed the natural order of things. In place of the poor for genetic mutations that are eliminated from the gene pool, we find a way to solve problems. We have glasses for people with vision problems, insulin for diabetics, treatments for all types of genetic defects.
We do this because we follow the moral law of right and wrong. We see people suffer, and we as a species to protect people in need, with less of us. That's right, and this is what Godwants.
This is a rather long way of saying that we as humans against the natural order of life, work, and why allow these genetic defects in our genetic heritage continues, we will also continue to see these genetic diseases in humans.
Need to examine the second type of evil we are, what I call artificial Evil. Man-made evil refers to rape, murder and the like.
Many bad things happen to good people. Good people arerobbed, mugged, raped or even killed by mistake in transmission technology shootings. How can God allow these bad things happen to good people so much?
The first part of the answer lies in our creation by God The Bible says that if we were created, God gave us the possibility to choose between good and evil, and to understand the difference between them. He gave us free will.
This means that you can choose to treat people well or wounded people. You canto choose to protect people in need or to tell someone you trust.
It could be for things that will happen, do not ask that of a choice because you've done. Nobody chooses to be raped and murdered, after all. However, the choice to hurt, done by someone else. God protects the free will to make bad decisions as well as protecting the ability to make correct decisions. If God is to stop someone from killing, he removed the murderess is free.
