personally it seems like his questions are more of the - if a tree falls in the woods with no-one around does it make any sound? - vein. Basically i'm saying that there is no real answers to his questions and/or there is no agreeing or disagreeing with them either. They are merely an opportunity to exercise the mind.
You have the knowledge of a young child compared to the knowledge of God. You do now comprehend all that God has created and do not understand his plan. I myself do not have the answers for all that you said, but i do know that God, and the devil exists, that is why there is good and evil in this world
Sorry, I've pondered this for a while & I've still no idea what that mean's, why you said it or what relevance it has to Epicurus's statement. If you'd like to elaborate by all means do so.
Is that directed at me Nashmeyer? Instead of resorting to simplistic insults you could try & say something, preferably something relevant to the quote else its just a random post.
Seems to me that that thinking mean's he gave us the capacity to be evil. Why would he give his creation the capacity for evil thus creating a problem that didn't previously exist, he's only going to have to fix it later. If you make something from scratch why would you write bugs into the programme, especially if you could just make it prefect. If nothing existed previously then neither did we, if we're the cause/carriers of evil then evil is gods creation & more over he knew that before he did it. If his deity like attributes are to be believed then it would be silly to think that our existence is an experiment or for entertainment so what is the point, not of life, but of this particular construct.
True. I do agree with you MIB. But just for to LOL's check out the "young earth creationists" tergiversations, twisted excuses and backwards logic to get around actual logic arguments against their position...
