[quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]God did this precisely because he is omniscient. He doesn't just have logical scientific knowledge, he knows the secrets to life's mysteries. . . everything.[/quote] Wut. How can he not have logical scientific knowledge, he created the universe, and everything in it. He created everything science finds. He created human capacity for science. How does this even make sense as a statement. This is like saying a computer can't do math but [b]created calculators[/b]. [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]He knows the future, the beginning, and the middle. . . he knows everything, the end from the beginning. He knows anything from a quadrillion years in the future. He is doing things the best way because they are the best ways.[/quote] What. That makes even less sense than before. He knows everything, he created everything. How is morality supposed to play into this at all? Why would anyone need to be killed, or raped, or destroyed, or sent to eternal hellfire, or otherwise... When he created and knows [b]everything[/b]. You can't define him as a moral entity if he has the power and the knowledge to stop all evil... And then doesn't. Just, simply chooses not to. And no, don't give me the free will argument. You just said it yourself he knows the future, everything is already written out, there is no free will in a universe where the future is set in stone by an omnipotent being who created you exactly the way you are. And the universe. And everything in it. [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]For example, let's say there's a little boy. He was born with damaged feet, and the Doctor's tell the father he will never walk. The father however, has found a way to surgically make him walk. Say that this is in a day before anesthesia? That's going to be one hell of a surgery for the poor little tyke. In the mean time however, there will be pain and anguish. Then, the little boy can walk.[/quote] Or he could just give the little boy the ability to walk and the knowledge about how lucky he is that he can walk. You know. Like a moral person would. Not a complete monster that gets off to seeing human suffering because... Reasons?...
