lol you have to be trolling. I called Adam and Eve children because earlier I said they were naive. How can I avoid a question which is not relevant yet alone sensible.
How on earth does crime and childhood hold any relevancy to the conversation? None. That is primarily because you are talking in circles.
You are giving yourself too much credit.
A omnipresent, omnipotent God whose creation is always said to be a world with mistakes. Yet, Christians know God knows the beginning and the end, that God has purpose for everything. I would like to hear how someone (atheist, or anyone), how they would do it differently; and let both science and theology pick apart at the suggestions based on facts today.

Example:
Joe the atheist: I would make the earth without grass; grass was a bad idea.
Joanne the atheist or creationist: What would the cows eat?
Joe the atheist: people
Berry: People?; so the people that remain don't have the strength to slaughter these beasts?
And so on...............
I will start with:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 KJV)
Joe the atheist: I would make the earth without grass; grass was a bad idea.
Joanne the atheist or creationist: What would the cows eat?

Berry: People?; so the people that remain don't have the strength to slaughter these beasts?
Left up to Mother Nature, the odds of life occurring on its own in the universe is 10[sup]40,000[/sup].
Given that 10[sup]50[/sup] is sufficient to say that something cannot happen: evolution is mathematically impossible.

That is called free will. Would you prefer to have all your actions controlled like a puppet? What kind of life would that be?
I am making a list...
Answer #1: "I would control all of my creations actions like a puppet master. They would have no free will."
I can watch a rerun of Jeopardy 10[sup]10[/sup] times, until I know exactly how each one is going to answer; and who is going to win, and who blows his nose, etc.
In other words, I can watch it until I'm nearly omniscient on that particular episode, and it is not going to change the fact that they had freewill throughout the program.

But in any case, I would make the moon another color. Blue with yellow polka dots!
Would the reflection of the moon be affected?
HitchSlap said:To the OP:
For starters, I would have added a couple of sentences to my holy book prohibiting rape, slavery and genocide. Secondly, I would have revealed myself to every culture and ethnicity in every epoch of time so as to remove all doubt of my existence. Thirdly, I wouldn't hang a "gone fishing" sign on my door and disappear for thousands of years. And lastly, I would update my holy book at least every ten years to reflect the current social environment.
(and I never would have created an arch enemy)
You said:
Back to the Easter Bunny. Would there not eventually be lying. If one was to accept the norm.

So, would there be evil still?
And-U-Say said:Let me fix this for you...
Answer #1a: "I would give all my creations free will, but would take an active role in teaching and guiding them towards understanding how to use that free will. Just like a human parent ought to do with their children. I will not stand back and do nothing and them blame them for not knowing what I could so easily teach them."
Answer #1b: "I would not burden and distort my creations with instincts and a sub conscience inherited from an evolutionary past. Since I don't want them to believe in evolution anyway, it would be best to take that stuff out. And it would dramatically improve their behavior towards one another and towards themselves."
Answer #1c: "I would increase their intellect so they could better perceive what proper behavior is and act appropriately."
Answer #1d: "I would remove the tendency for gullibility so they can better perceive right and wrong and not listen to religious hucksters. This will decimate the ranks of those who claim to have heard my "call", but in the end will work out ever so much better.
Lord Emsworth said:I would also put fossilized Swiss watches on mountain tops!
Subduction Zone said:Are you being purposefully thick?
Read my post please. To accept an idea someone would have to give strong evidence for it first.
I am unaware of any evidence for the Easter Bunny or other fictional being. Just as there is no evidence that I know of for God.
[/QUOTE]So, how would the biological parents ever learn to be a parent if God always intervened?
So, they won't think for themselves all the time?
The Bible has a similar story. Solomon the richest and smartest man to ever live. How did that work out for him?
So, you act like their parent and then you criticize them for believing in you? Why would there be religious hucksters if your well known; after all you raised them. If there is wrong and it is perceived how does being less gullible help to stop men from doing wrong?
See how easy it is to be smarter than god!
