Science is a false God

Question. If god created "every thing", were did evil come from and who created it? Don't say Satan because God also created Satan.

God did not create Satan the Devil anymore than a parent creates a murderer a thief or a drug addict.

did God create us to . . . pollute the earth, and kill other species off to extinction? We destroy and kill more than anything on the planet. Justify that by your God?

No, absolutely not. Had Adam and Eve remained loyal to God and obeyed him our planet would be a Paradise free from all of the war, violence, abuse, strife, discord, animosity, hatred, bigotry, inequality, injustice, abject squalor, preventable disease, oppression and depravity that characterizes human existence today.

Thankfully, humanity's experiment of independence from God is quickly coming to an end and our Creator will restore the world and the planet to its original paradisaical conditions so that all those loyal to him can live forever in true peace and happiness.

But Adam and Eve were a myth. This is one of the failures of the Bible.

And the false belief that "God will make everything okay" is a harmful idea. People with this sort of belief tend to resist changes that preserve our environment.

But then again your God created Adam and Eve, knowing they would stray, created the snake and donkey(the evil) that he knew would lead them astray, let them stray, then created death as punishment, created more humans to be evil and die, it's like a big game.

But he didn't know. That's why he could legitimately hold them responsible for their treachery.
So God is not omniscient. And you do not realize how your concept of God screwed up. He did not give them the knowledge of right and wrong in the myth. That puts the blame for their actions on him. I sincerely hope that you do not have any children. By the standards you show here you would punish them for things that they had no way of knowing were wrong.

Even more reason to enthusiastically embrace our Creator's loving guidance, no?

“I, Jehovah, am your God,
The One teaching you to benefit yourself,
The One guiding you in the way you should walk.
If only you would pay attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would become just like a river
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea." -Isaiah 48:17, 18

Nope, I have no need for your imaginary creator.

And this would undermine your Atheism?


It would certainly provide evidence of the existence of something more than usual at work. It is the type of evidence I would need to start thinking theism is wrong. If that is what you mean by 'undermine', then yes.
