God: The Intelligent Designer? Oops!

Then you've got oddballs like planets having days longer than their years and planets that rotate on their sides as an alternative to possessing a rotation axis up-down. Perhaps the Almighty features a warped sense of humour or likes range! But back to the dangers to human life and limb, how a lot of of God's so beloved subjects are wiped out by terrestrial, never mind extraterrestrial, "Acts of God" every year? How can I wipe ye out let me count the approaches. Floods are a provided, even after Noah's time; landslides and avalanches of course; drought and famine; wicked winds via hurricanes (cyclones or typhoons) and needless to say tornadoes; wildfires; tsunamis; earthquakes; volcanoes; and God's favourite, bolts of lightning from the sky*, as well as a host of other all-natural approaches and indicates of translating the you which is you into the late you that was you. Why does God enact "Acts of God" when God developed you and loves you, and is merciful and compassionate? Something's screwy somewhere! Speaking of screwy, I have a tendency to uncover it pretty extraordinary that people who survive an "Act of God" (i.e. a all-natural disaster) attribute their great fortune to a miracle (as in "it's a miracle we survived"), as within a supernatural intervention when it was just the luck in the draw. After which to leading it off, they are going to "Thank God" for having survived. Do you "Thank God" for an "Act of God"? I feel not. How about giving God the Big Finger for sending the "Act of God" your way inside the very first damn location! If God designed almost everything, God designed the laws of physics. That involves the laws that govern nuclear fission and fusion. Nuclear fusion and fission can generate products that go Ka-Boom'. An atomic or nuclear explosion in your neck in the woods can also ruin your day! Even a peaceful nuclear energy plant meltdown can be detrimental for your well being. A lot for God's design of intelligent physics! Now obviously our Sun is powered by nuclear fusion, but an intelligent all-powerful God I am sure could have produced an option form of solar power. But right here again perhaps God's sense of funny-bone humour comes into play. If God developed physics then He developed quantum physics and no doubt God is rolling on Heaven's floor laughing his posterior off at the inability of His subjects to come to terms together with the related absurdities that He mandated relating to all issues quantum. Einstein mentioned that God will not throw dice. Einstein should not inform God what to accomplish. God not simply throws dice, He throws them where you can not even see them. If God designed every little thing, God also designed the laws of chemistry. That includes numerous mixtures which, albeit on a lesser scale, may also go Ka-Boom', like gunpowder. How a lot of of God's human subjects, get to join God in Heaven somewhat prematurely because of the use and misuse of gunpowder or dynamite or nitro-glycerine? An intelligent God might have bypassed the design and require of chemical explosives. As an analogy, does a rational parent give their ten-year-old child a loaded gun to play' with? If God developed almost everything, God also produced the various principles relating to metallurgy. Now the creation of metal objects like knives and swords and spears and guillotine blades and bullets can place holes within the human bodies that God created, holes large adequate to produce that human physique an extinct human body. By allowing metallurgy, effectively a lot for God wanting His apex of creation, human beings, to reside long and prosper. If God produced almost everything, God developed all of terrestrial biology. Terrestrial biology features a habit of acquiring inside the way of the human best of utopia, like a Garden of Eden. I imply there is food poisoning, all manner of all-natural venoms and toxins like snake and spider bites and wasp stings and scorpions and jellyfish; predators that will snack on human prey like crocodiles, sharks, tigers, wolf/hyena packs, and so forth. Then there are these fatal illnesses due to killer viruses as well as other microbes that do you in together with the flu, AIDS, Ebola, ALS (a motor neuron illness), along with a hundred a lot more nasties. Ask your loved ones medical doctor to get a list of how biology can do you a mischief, but let a great deal of time for what will prove to be a rather lengthy lecture. If God designed almost everything, God developed all of our traits and characteristics. Just a single generation after God created the pinnacle of all that was and ever is going to be (Adam and Eve), Cain murdered Abel. Factors have just snowballed from there and also incorporate rape and incest and legalised murder (warfare) and adequate variations on human atrocities to fill an encyclopaedia with. Did God produce for us an intelligent state of thoughts (which is not quite the same point as an intelligent thoughts)? Effectively, our intelligent state of thoughts can use those intelligent physics and chemistry as well as biology that God so intelligently created to raise all sorts of non-intelligent havoc. We've all heard of CBR chemical, biological and radiological warfare. IMHO, God has got to accept some responsibility here inside the very same way that a parent has to accept responsibility for the behaviour of their children. Speaking of parents, parents are generally offered (or determine for themselves) security tips on how to preserve their yard, residence and contents a secure place for their children like keeping medicines out of reach is but a single instance. In the case of God the Father (and Mother) it appears as if He has taken the opposite route and bobby-trapped our yard, property and contents. I suppose that's an intelligent design and style of sorts if that is your objective, but God's intelligent style message is then "boy have I got it in for you lot" (in fact that's just a continuation of His Old Testament techniques). On the other hand, Mother Nature is neutral. So, are we getting cared for by a loving God, the apex of His inventive intelligence, or possibly a neutral Mother Nature who just needs that we spend our funds and take our probabilities? At the very least Mother Nature is intellectually honest. Our Supreme Being, the Almighty Creator God, who's all loving and merciful and compassionate, however, has intelligently developed all myriad of methods to snuff you out of existence! Now let's consider the subject of waste. To waste resources just isn't considered intelligent. To style an inefficient whatever when you can find more efficient possibilities available is just not regarded as intelligent. It really is not quite intelligent or efficient to design and build a auto with square wheels! That is a waste of resources. But God tends to waste lots of resources. By way of example, considering that we are the apex of God's creations, I ask if we actually want any much more resources and genuine estate that is certainly contained together with the solar program itself. The rest from the vast cosmos is actually a waste of space and stuff. Who demands it? We do not. And when the Sun runs low on fuel in 4 or five billion years time, effectively surely we can rely on God to modify the batteries, and as a result life goes on. More down to earth, we note that God developed life. Okay, over the course of its lifetime, a tree might make billions of seeds, of which possibly 1 or two may well survive and thrive and make it into tree-hood. All the rest are wasted effort on the element in the parent tree. Obviously you may argue that the unlucky seeds ended up as a food resource supply for various animals and hence weren't really wasted at all. And whilst there's some thing to become mentioned for that, what about those billions of male sperm cells and dozens of female egg cells that by no means get their act together and thus never ever get into the act. That as well is an extravagant waste of time and power along with other bodily resources that went into that wasted production. God could have developed a program whereby a single sperm was made and a single egg was created as well as the two would unite and reside pleased ever after! You can find vast deposits of valuable minerals deep down inside the Earth fat large amount of great they do us. 99.999% from the Sun's energy output misses our planet (and also the rest with the solar system's actual estate) and heads off into the depths of interstellar space. Far more waste. Lastly, and on a more philosophical note, if there is certainly intelligent design behind LUE, then that implies that there need to be a goal(s) or explanation(s) behind all of these bits and pieces that collectively make up LUE. But that is clearly nonsense. Who's the recipient or beneficiary? It has to be something living for non-living items cannot appreciate intelligent design and style. A grain of sand understands no style or objective in becoming tossed about by the ocean waves, presumably a portion of God's intelligent design. But then a microbe has no comprehension in the existence or goal or significance of say the planet Mercury or the planetoid Pluto (yet again a part of God's intelligent design and style). Ditto that of a tree. The truth is ditto that proper on up the tree of life' until you get to us. So apparently we're the recipient or beneficiary of God's intelligent design and style the apex of God's creation. Okay, that tends to make sense, except for 1 tiny flaw hinted at within the starting paragraph The intelligently created Universe has been about for 13.7 billion years. Intelligently designed Planet Earth has been around for four.five billion years. God's apex (defined as Homo sapiens) has been about for about 200,000 years - maximum duration. Oops that is a lot of waste. Waste is not intelligent, so the entire intelligent design and style bit ultimately crumbles like a home produced out of playing cards. . It is almost as if we had been just a minor afterthought and not the apex of God's inventive abilities following all. *Oops sorry, I meant Zeus. I've plenty of trouble telling the two apart because they both appear so much alike!
