if humans were created by god then can you explain:
- lack of natural defences - almost every animal has some kind of defence mechanism, exept humans. if we were created why would we be given such an obvious disadvantage?
- genetic conditions - why would we be created with genetic conditions which kill us decades before the natural time? if you are always ill how can you face the challenges of life?
only two i can think of right now but if anyone else can think of something just add it in.
Your first option has an assumption behind it.
As if we humans were intended to be except from harm.
I suspect that we were never intended to live at great length.
Immortality was never to be possessed by Man.
We were given dominion.
This is delivered by our ability to think, and to see in advance the consequence for taking action...
as well as remaining idle.
(not limited to dealing with predatory animals, hunting food, etc.etc.etc...)
Dominion, however, is not guarantee of life or living.
As for genetic conditions....
We are what was intended.
The body is a learning tool.
There is no mystery to life. You are here to learn all that you can before you die.
This linear existence results in the forming of a spirit of unique perspective.
It is this the one item that makes you interesting in the eyes of God.
It is inherently a flawed replication of His image.
Stands to reason.
If you knew all that He knows....there could be no question...or answer...between you. No conversation... as you and I know such things.
The challenges of life are not obstacles placed in you path by God.
Your fellow man is doing that to you.
