If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[Anomalocaris]

You're wedded to the idea that gods are like an animal with a brain, and as I said..I don't think you're saying much of consequence or anything strictly true even in that context.

I think it is the most consequential one.    It says no god with whom we can interact can be all powerful, and resorting to god being all powerful to avoid a conundrum means one is full of shit. 

And in no way does the rely one god having what we call a brain.     It stipulates there must be a chain of causes for god to behave in any specific way, and the one step in the chain of causes has inevitably to be god operates under limitation and needed to skirt around the edges of the limitaction he operates under. 

The distinction between want and need is a purely artificial one.     One wants it only because in some manner one needs it.   Creativity is again a meaningless distinction in the context.     One may classify the particular need as born out of a merely elective, or irrational, or frivolous, or creative, process, but the process in place creates the need nonetheless.   Why was the process in place?
