Rationalman, I really like your quote of Mark Twain, maybe that's why my neighborhood seems infested with dogs. But there sure are a lot of kids here, maybe just a co-incidence.
Are you saying this whole mess is God's fault since He started the ball rolling?
If you are, what I see is God in charge, rather than in control.
Kind of like when kids are at a playground and the bullies run rampant when no one is looking.
Without this freedom everyone would (because of self- interest) always behave and the reality of their inner selves would never be released.
God could have just made more animals if he wanted pre programed units.
