Because maybe this is the best possible world for us, and because we are who we are, and He wanted us to be here so we can return to Him?
Yeah, why give us stomachs? It just invites the pain of hunger and starvation, and makes us waste most of our lives trying to satiate a bottomless pit. Not to mention how unpleasant the waste is upon exit! Why not fuel our bodies on a magical energy, rather than constrain us to 100% natural processes? So silly. To paraphrase the Horse from Animal farm: "I would rather God have not given me a tail, and kept the flies."
It is magical energy. ATP production is sheer magic. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Because evidently if "it" exists, it is a sadistic, anarchistic, moronic animal with bad taste, sorry vision and even less intelligence. Even assuming you believe in god, what makes you think he just chose this "one?" We can't even get out of our own galaxy, know why we're here, how we got here and you are assuming what god has done and thinks.
He chose to create this world instead of a better one. That's what I think Varda meant. Because it's not very good?
I can't understand why he designed our bodies and all other animals, plants & bacteria to appear as if they had evolved into their current forms. Why not throw some useless functions on us to abolish the whole evolution mumbo-jumbo.
Well, I don't believe, but here's a speculation... As I understand it - and I am probably merely introducing some nonsensical fanatstic element to the whole thing I no doubt thought up years gone by when I used to get stoned all the time, which somehow insinuated its way into my memory and now masquerades there quite effectively as "fact" - God created the "best" world as "Universe Mk I", populated it with Angels & whatnot which were bereft of free will - hence effectively robotic "yes men". The result being rather ho-hum, He got bored & started over - "Universe Mk II", populated with Angels possessing free will. The result being an attempted revolution, he got annoyed & started over - "Universe Mk III", populated with beings possessing free will, but sans big-assed flaming swords & super powers. We're still in the midst of that particular "version", as the outcome or result has not yet come to fruition. One presumes that the reason or reasons that we do not understand the particulars of such parameters as troublesome guttiwuts and their attendant "brapping" noises and odorsome effluvial emissions is that it is not part of " God's Plan[/B "] that we do so. ie - there is a lesson in all this somewhere which we are supposed to be learning. The seedy, puzzling, loathesome and/or disgusting portions of human existence are all intentional. Your guess is as good as mine as to what manner of enlightenment is supposed to be derived from them, or for that matter, what the actual " Plan " is... Amen.
