Human body is the best God can do?

are you saying that God's windpipe and esophagus run different tubes? are you saying that God doesn't starve or take a shit? I can't believe people describe something so poorly understood, something that's only vaguely described, a god, as 'perfect'. How could you expect anything after death when all you know is our dependency on matter?

And weren't we supposedly made in "his image"? In any case, couldn't this deity create a body for us that didn't have such an obvious design flaw?

Hmmmm.... maybe "God" is a dolphin?Thinking

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I like to think about how marvelous the human body is. Sure you can make a case for it's "poor design", but you can also make a case for its miraculous complexity. So far we haven't found another race or creature that is close to as smart and self-aware as we are. And we can see pretty far nowadays. Your immune system is very, very powerful and efficient. Until it turns on itself.

Thumbs, music, 3D location with ears, throwing things.

The argument that it is poorly designed starts to define good design by proxy... May be we need to have our throat and windpipe together. May be choking is next to godliness...

You have a rather high opinion of yourself, don't you?

Since this god person is "supposedly" perfect.

By extension everything he does must therefore also be perfect.

Thusly it would be impossible for him to make anything that is imperfect.

BTW just because something is complex doesn't automatically mean it is better.

So Zen



Is everything you do more complex than yourself?



No



so your theory fails



a perfect being could only make something less perfect than itself



God is at the top of the tree



he doesn't create things bigger and better than himself



or equal to him



thanks

Same here fr0d0!! Humans are the only species that delight in complicating matters! This could be used to support the theory that humans NEED religion and NEED to feel 'special"

You belittle your deity SOOOOO MUCH! So now you are saying that this deity could not create something like the cosmos?? You think the Cosmos CARES!! Spoken to a couple of Super Novas and Black Holes have you??

The whole "god" thing is just an extension of the Feudal System and is perpetuated by slaves who don't have the wit to think for themselves....

NO sir fr0d0 YOU are the epic FAIL!!

You are being too polite Fluke!

where did I say that?



I'm talking logical possibilities here. We can consider those, and observe violations.

The cosmos is less complex than God. God is at the top of the tree. Did you miss that bit? (I wouldn't blame you... I was writing in a zen stylie Wink)
