More than survival?
A shark is not exactly designed to eat seaweed and the like, so after the fall, God or whoever "redesign" the animals, must have change the sharks otherwise they would have died.
What evidence is there against a shark being designed to eat seaweeds? Moreover, what evidence is there that a shark is not a species quite similar to its kind, but quite different in its characteristics?
According to your people adapting different traits and abilities is not unheard of.
Study reveals lactose tolerance happened quickly in Europe
The ability for humans to digest milk as adults has altered our dietary habits and societies for centuries. But when and how that ability -- known as lactase persistence or lactose tolerance -- occurred and became established is up for debate. By testing the genetic material from the bones of people who died during a Bronze Age battle around 1,200 BC, an international team of scientists including Krishna Veeramah, PhD, of Stony Brook University, suggest that lactase persistence spread throughout Central Europe in only a few thousand years, an extremely fast transformation compared to most evolutionary changes seen in humans. Their findings are published in Current Biology.
Why then would God need to intervene, when he designed everything with the mechanism for change? Even rock changes.
As above, a shark amongst many other predators are not designed to eat or live off plants, so if God originally designed them to. And they suddenly change their eating habits after the fall, that will require a change to their digesting system or they would die. Who changed the animals, if not God?
Covered above, I think.
No, you said he did so many amazing things, so im fine with you choosing whichever you think is so amazing?
Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 40:26; Psalm 139:14 ...
Why would that need to change?
Well if you want God to take away people's urge to do wrong, why is rebellion against God to be excluded?
Well I did just suggest that God could have removed the urge to rape. I also suggested that he could change how humans and animals survive, by simply letting them eat plants. He could also simply have made it so earthquakes etc. weren't needed.
So 1) stop humans from being independent thinkers, or developing their own character, or person. 2) remove the essential elements necessary for protecting and sustaining life on earth.
Do you know how volcanoes, lightning bolts and the movement of magma in the earth's crust, contribute to life on earth? These are all essential elements. The earth has a protective "shield" and atmosphere, necessary for survival.
If it were different, you and I would not be here. In fact, those looking on at what God did, would have reason to complain about what God did.
You can't blame God for earthquakes and hurricanes either, when in reality, man has contributed to the increase, and severity of natural elements.
This coming from your people, again.
Global warming is making some extreme weather events worse.
As Earth’s climate has warmed, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded around the world. Scientists identify these extreme weather events based on the historical record of weather in a particular region. They consider extreme weather events to be those that produce unusually high or low levels of rain or snow, temperature, wind, or other effects. Typically, these events are considered extreme if they are unlike 90% or 95% of similar weather events that happened before in that same area.
Global warming can contribute to the intensity of heat waves by increasing the chances of very hot days and nights. Warming air also boosts evaporation, which can worsen drought. More drought creates dry fields and forests that are prone to catching fire, and increasing temperatures mean a longer wildfire season. Global warming also increases water vapor in the atmosphere, which can lead to more frequent heavy rain and snowstorms.
A warmer and more moist atmosphere over the oceans makes it likely that the strongest hurricanes will be more intense, produce more rainfall, and possibly be larger. In addition, global warming causes sea level to rise, which increases the amount of seawater, along with more rainfall, that is pushed on to shore during coastal storms. That seawater, along with more rainfall, can result in destructive flooding. While global warming is likely making hurricanes more intense, scientists don’t know yet if global warming is increasing the number of hurricanes each year. The effect of global warming on the frequency, intensity, size, and speed of hurricanes remains a subject of scientific research.
How Do Humans Affect the Environment?
Human activity has had an effect on the environment for thousands of years, from the time of our very earliest ancestors. Since Homo sapiens first walked the earth, we have been modifying the environment around us through agriculture, travel and eventually through urbanization and commercial networks. At this point in earth’s physical history, our impact on the environment is so substantial that scientists believe “pristine nature,” or ecosystems untouched by human intervention, no longer exist.1
In ways both positive and negative - and likely in more ways than you’d even think - human civilization and technology have affected our earth, altering our planet forever. Consider these five tangible impacts our species has had on the environment, and whether you’re one who will advance their effects or intercede to halt them.
These impacts are expected to intensify in the coming decades.
Human activity can trigger earthquakes, but how many? This number might surprise you
How Humans Are Causing Deadly Earthquakes
Mining, dam building, and fracking are among the causes.
Unlike man, God can control the weather, and he can teach man to properly manage, and keep the right balance in earth's systems.
I would consider that a start and he could go through all the stuff that is considered evil and either remove or change them.
Question : If there is an almighty creator, would he not know better than you, what to do?
So would your suggestions not amount to a futile exercise?
You could just say, you think God does not exist, because you think things would be different if he did.
, fullstop.
That argument is baseless however, because what you think, is not true, just because you think it, and there are always more than one reason for something being the way it is. Often, we have little or no facts, and make judgments with that limited knowledge/
Just as there are certain animals that bind for life, humans are not far off, we get married and in some cases people live happily ever after together. So he could have made it so when people are in love they give off a scent that their partner can pick up, if the love ever goes away the scent will go as well and people would know and could split with each other in peace. Again there are lots of ways to do it, that would be less problematic than how it is now.
He could have made oranges to taste like bush too. In fact he could have made everything to taste like bush.
God made humans with free will - the freedom to choose. There is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps only 10% of humanity would think that's a problem.
No, its irrelevant because we are talking about how to change stuff. And if we change them these things wouldn't be there anymore, so its not important whether it used to be like that or not.
What things would not be there? We were talking about evil, right?
The solution to evil does not lie in removing man's heart. How about training the heart. What if man developed the heart that does not include evil. How about that?
Yes, I have read the scripture, in fact I have read the bible. I still don't see how that is relevant for the question I asked?
According to the scripture, God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,
so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life
Why, might they be destroyed? Since you say you read the Bible, then you can answer that question.
