God is all powerful right? and all knowing? So why would he create imperfect animals that go extinct? Could he not have seen into the future and seen which animals had flaws that would be fatal? Could he not have just not made the imperfect animals in the first place.
Another quick question. I have heard some theist opinions on global warming and world threatening crises like these. They claim that god wouldn't allow the earth to be destroyed. But if thats true, why does he allow animal species to die? This reduces the biodiversity of the food chain and could ultimately contribute to the destruction of life on this planet (that is if an asteroid or radiation from a gamma ray burster doesn't get us first)
Not trying to score points here, just interested in theists thoughts.
Because God is a gap answer, and the fact of evolution isn't a comic book or sexy enough like the fantasy they swallow.
