Humans fit to rule over humans.. Because we've done such an excellent job so far.
God gave us this world to rule over and to care for those in need. I could post pics of babies starving in Africa or drinking dirty water, but you get the point.
So no, humans are not fit to simply manage and distribute the resources we have been given to share, let alone rule over ourselves.
umm....I'm not even going to bother lol.
Then I will...
Have we done a perfect job of governing ourselves? No, but we get better at it all the time, primarily because as the baseless fear of your non-existent god recedes, people look to themselves.
Really? Starving babies in Africa (not to mention Europe, Asia, and the Americas) doesn't give you the teensiest pause that maybe your god could lend a hand? Oh, wait, I remember - god permits babies to die of malnutrition and other horrible afflictions to teach us mercy and compassion.
As for managing resources, this too is getting better all the time. Fewer people (as a percentage of population) go hungry or cold or die of sanitation-related illnesses than ever before. Why? Because of HUMAN ingenuity and compassion, not the god of Abraham, we seems to take a disturbing delight in misery and horror.
