Garden of Eden was a setup...

And the corollary of that is that good is the absence of evil. By this logic, I could equally argue that good doesn't exist. Of course morality is relative. (It makes me wonder why you adhere to a system of religious belief which is pinned upon the idea that morality is absolute ... but that's another discussion).

Otherwise, you're simply asserting that good is the only truly existing moral quality.



The first two are materials states, the third is an abstraction. Your analogy fails.


Who created the viruses that kill people?

Who not only created the concept of death, but inflicted it upon every human being who ever lived?


Did this rebellion surprise your god? I was raised believing that the Christian god knows everything that ever was, ever is, and ever would be.

If your god knew Satan would go on to torment billions of people yet did nothing to stop this, then morally speaking, your god is culpable in those evil deeds. (Now, I'm not talking about Hell, so don't trot out Christ's sacrifice to demonstrate your god making right the evils he has permitted. I'm talking about the evils we see in this world, evils I've already mentioned such as diseases like cancer which strike haphazardly with no consideration of the victim's moral rectitude).

If your god didn't know that Satan would do this, then the obvious conclusion to draw is that the Bible is wrong about at least one pretty important aspect of your god's nature.

I asked IATIA the following question and this may take a few days to get thru because I'm back to work from my holliday, so not a lot of time.
I would appreciate your input as well

Forgive my ignorance and enlighten me; can you please define each one of those, one at a time.
Please don't move on to the next till I fully grasp the first one were going to tackle.

Lets start with COLD; how would you define COLD?
Let me thank you in advance for your patience.

entropy

you are your own system (your body)...while the environment around you is another and the object you touch is yet another.

When you touch that object, you are changing your entropy when you made contact.

Of course your body is warm and works at a certain body temp and any deviation from it will be felt by your nerves in your fingers, because they operate at an optimal 36.X degrees Celsius or so.
