Just a random ass explosion put all those healthy bacteria in your stomach and put acid makers in there and tubes and a blood system and all that jazz. It still amazes me that people still think this all just happened out of nothing. It makes no sense. |

If us as humans, over millions and billions of years, slowly just stopped eating less and less and less, and only bred with the ones who were best with the least food, maybe we could evolve to not even need food. |

This is kind of a ridiculous topic, but I'm willing to engage you. Have you studied any biology whatsoever, much less biochemistry? How could a being without cells have continuity of Self? What are you proposing, beings of pure energy? Is that your litmus test for a proper creation by a benevolent god? The differentiation of cells is what allows specialization of tissue to occur. That can't happen with nourishment. Food is consumed by all life, even simple plants that use their roots to absorb nutrients from the soil. Are you asking for a barren world devoid of the diversity of species? For without the array of creatures to live and die and so form soil or serve as nutrition for other species, there is no food chain. Even if a being of energy were possible, how would it maintain cohesiveness? How would it grow? What would limit its growth if not bound? The topic seems very ilogical.

I hold a biblical worldview and you're outright denying that completely closing your mind off to it. So my point of view will most likely be brushed off anyways. But before the fall of man, no animals ate meat and lived off vegetation. I imagine that after the flood is when a drastic change occurred in the way that ecosystems operate. |

Sorry OP but when you debate something you need to provide a conlusion and evidence to back up your conclusion. Evan at TAFE level if you make stuff up or don't have evidence you fail... You need to research your subject, form a hypothesis collect evidence to support your hypothesis. And my personal favourite finding evidence that refutes your hypothesis and figure out a way to make sure your hypothesis can survive debate by structuring your hypothesis in a way that does not reveal or negates the flaw in your hypothesis. Simply saying, "I don't know." loses the debate. You should say others fail when you "smurf" up! Better luck next time. |

This at least is a real look at the design "flaws that Mr. Tyson sees in the Universe. I think this is what you're aiming for...isn't it? I don't subscribe to it by the way, obviously we are wonderfully wrought in such a creative fashion. My study of the basic biology, chemistry, physics, but then advanced graduate courses in anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry, patholgy, etc all show me what a beautiful elegant intricately wonderous aspect there is to the Earth and Creation! Then having studied the humanities of art, literature, philosophy, religion, etc how even more aware I am of the joy of Creation. Hamlet: Madam, how like you this play?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11421136 I'm not confirming or denying this all happened out of nothing. I'm saying if it was intelligently designed to be this specific way, there's nothing loving about it. Well since you're automatically excluding the bible, idk how much this would be worth to you. But we weren't originally made to eat other animals. Just fruits and veggies and the sort. It's true. That was a while back and society today has been conditioned for a while now to eat meat. I truly believe that we weren't supposed to eat meat, but we were given free will after all. I think our loving God made food and sustenance for fuel, and for us to be thankful. Food tastes fucking great wouldn't you agree? Yeah you can say that if we didn't need it then it wouldn't matter. But here we are. Man is to blame for societies problems like hunger etc etc. It's all part of the fall of mankind. How does this it play out if man uses his free will to reject the existence of god? Or man decides to use it to supersede god. There you have it, free will with its pitfall. So free will must have its limits to be subjugated to whatever created it. As to the Op, it could be argued that an intelligent god could not devise such a system especially in the light of most problems of humans coming from there. I dont know about evolution but man before creation was first on the lab table. There are even parts of man like the appendix which has no known function. First off, the appendix has a function. And yeah it's your free will to reject God. Nowhere saying you arent able to do so. And of course we are limited to whatever created us. But we were created with our own wills and ability to reason. Which is why you see many differing opinions. I'm not sure I understand your point on free will. Do you think God would create us able to supersede him? Nothing supersedes him, he is the source of life, it wouldn't make sense if creation could supersede creator. The point I`m getting across is that free will could just be a delusion. We are on this rock not by our choice, free will or no, we can´t change a thing. It has been so with all the civilizations that were before us. Its only a matter of time that future generations would be digging up artifacts about us. Hope you get it this time. |

This is based on hunger, pain, suffering, killing, death. Life forms on this planet are forced to live this way. Doesn't sound like a very friendly creator to me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11421136 An all-powerful being would have the means to create a universe where life forms would live in harmony and have no need for a digestive system, hence no dependence on food and water for survival, animals would not hurt or kill each other or live in fear if this was the case. But since that isn't our reality this is solid proof either god doesn't exist, or if this god does exist, then by creating such conditions shows how evil this deity all you brainwashed bibletards worship actually is. Who in their right mind would consider this a loving god, can you be more delusional? I'm not denying the possibility of other dimensions, but we are here in this one right now, So why was such a hostile dimension/existence created then? And why is life put here to endure it? Whichever way you put it, doesn't sound very friendly to me. Animals (life forms) still slaughter each other to survive, that's not my definition of a free and loving creation, bibletard. And if you look down upon another living creature just because your own species is sentient and dominant then you're a deluded fool. Let's make this clear: THREAD NOT ABOUT HUMANS/BIBLE/HEAVEN, if your reply relates to any of this, you're just displaying your ignorance and can fuck off. All bible quotes will be considered off topic spam and ignored. learn to think for yourself instead of letting someone elses book do it for you. So, because the entire universe is not up to what you want it to be.....there is no GOD? Because it is not the way you would have done it, it is flawed? I can't tell you how grateful I am for you being so much more than GOD! |

But we do have free will, limited yes, but we can do anything our bodies can handle, our voices can say, our minds think, all freely. Nobody told you to write out anything. You did. Now, since we are here and there isn't any changing to that, shouldn't we be doing are best to find out the meaning of this complexity we call existence? We are created beings. If you deny the evolution standpoint, then you have to understand that nothing cant beget intelligence. Intelligence begets intelligence. So to think, we are personal, intelligent, creative beings with so much potential. Wouldn't the source of this creation have to be more intelligent than us? |

You said no Bible verses, so I won't quote, but I trust you know the story of Eden. That was a world with no death, suffering, or struggle. It didn't last. It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out. |

| Don'tBeAfraid User ID: 32113282 United States01/27/2013 08:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What would any creature imagine about a larger creature with more consciousness than themselves? The fact remains that what you're thinking is the "natural man" not a Christian. Let's get back to the topic, for there's a possiblity of salvaging this. So far, I think I'm one of the few to present evidence of the OP assertions, which is sad and pathetic, isn't it? I could argue either way in debate or the pursuit of Truth by reason (dialectic). Debates are often mere weak attempts at logic by persuasion. Even that would be preferrable to one-liners about psychopathic gods.
