Sin didn't bring death. If you believe the bible God brought death because of sin. Like a big child having a hissy fit, he broke his favourite toy.Sin brought DEATH (of any kind) into our world. Sin effected everything God originally created (everything was good and VERY good) no death. So, that what we see that involves death and/or destruction wasn't as He originally created.
God is all about life.
Either that, or it did.Sin didn't bring death.

This is where I part ways with Christian beliefs in a pretty major way.Sin came into the world via lucifer/satan .....then through Adam & Eve into the human race ... sin is not from God .... and yes sin brought death ... sin is transgression of the law and God don't break His laws.

It is a relatively consistent story that certainly resonates in a powerful way with many people. From my perspective I cannot help but notice that the majority of such people were raised in the religion. For me, that sounded warning bells. It promoted my own intensive and extended examination of my Christian faith.Sin came into the world via lucifer/satan .....then through Adam & Eve into the human race ... sin is not from God .... and yes sin brought death ... sin is transgression of the law and God don't break His laws.
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
James 1:15
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
The way I look at it, the parasite as described in the OP is not living it's life cycle because of the actions of Adam and Eve's influence by Satan. What's going on is the Creative process that we get through evolution.You won't get far.
I'm asking you Gaea's role in all of this, and you seem to be stalling.The way I look at it, the parasite as described in the OP is not living it's life cycle because of the actions of Adam and Eve's influence by Satan. What's going on is the Creative process that we get through evolution.
I've answered. Maybe, as you have told me, it's over your head.I'm asking you Gaea's role in all of this, and you seem to be stalling.
You're always good at telling me what Mother Nature is doing in other instances; but for some reason, you're fudging.
I suspect it's because you're getting the message that your benevolent Gaea isn't as benevolent as you think she is.

For freewill purposes.Why would God need to create a tree of life if there was no death?
Many parasitic organisms have complex lifecycles; in some cases they are dependent on multiple species for their reproductive cycle.
Take for example, Leucochloridium paradoxum. It's a parasitic organism that reproduces via eggs inside of birds. Then the fecal matter containing the eggs are consumed by snails. The eggs hatch inside the snail and then proceed to develop into a sporocyst with various branches throughout the snail's body. The ends of the branches then develop into a broodsac which infest the snail's eyestalk.
In a highly disturbing aspect of mimicry, the broodsacs will pulsate to attract predation by birds while simultaneously mind-controlling the snail:
(Look up "Leucochloridium" on Youtube if you want to see this in action. Warning: it's a bit gross.)
Birds will then attack the snail, ripping out the broodsac from the eyestalk and then the whole cycle starts over.
This is obviously a highly complicated lifecycle that clearly defies biological evolution. Therefore it must have involved the hand of an intelligent designer.
That said, how and why would an intelligent designer create such an organism? Imagine having a parasite in your eyeball that forces you wait around until it's pecked out by a bird. What purpose does such a parasite serve?
It's so wired to hear people attache a agenda to nature like good or evil in this thread. Like do they view tidal waves as a inherently evil thing? It harms things but it's just water being water.The way I look at it, the parasite as described in the OP is not living it's life cycle because of the actions of Adam and Eve's influence by Satan.

I believe that, in the beginning, nature was made for man; and not man for nature.Do you view nature as good Av? Evil? Or maybe neither?
