    WOW, from the Simpsons? I don't think God, who has the power to do anything, would create something that he wouldn't be able to eat. But actually, there's no end to this question.

    Guess the most important thing to ask, Why would God do something like this?

    Then the question becomes: Why would God create animals which goes existinct? Why would God create illness? Why would God create defects in life?

    What can I say, "God works in mysterious ways", it just doesn't cut it for me?
     
  4. that's a trick question, however you answer it you would have to put some limitation on God, these hypothetical questions are amusing.

    ProjectD VIP yay :]

    the thing is that is there a god? and if so why would he even want to use his powers to make such a chilly that he himself could not eat... its just a rhetoric question now
     
  6. i wouldn't say it was rhetoric, maybe the person was very serious in what they asked, but its a silly question non the less.

    Well, how about:

    Why did God created species which go extinct before human comes around to find them and make records of them?

    I can understand why human has to suffer, the original sin and all, but why did the animals suffered death and genocide (of sorts, considering extinction means an ENTIRE population being wiped out)???

    ^ Religion and way of life are all based on human interpretations. When combined with "rational" thinking, it does not always compute.:)

    Since when did we come to that conclusion? lol
    I think what we agreed was religion is all based on our own human interpretation.
