But couldn't God, being All Powerful, have made that possible if He'd wished? I think the question is why is life, for humans and other types of animal, so cruel when God could have made it different. No-one seems able to answer.It has to do with the fact that there's no such thing as a perpetual motion machine.

I would say He did. We are animals. Sin is a manmade idea.Then He should have just created animals and we would be monkeys. They can't sin.
Is your god, as you define it, exempt from entropy? What about spirits? Angels? Souls? Heaven? Hell?It has to do with the fact that there's no such thing as a perpetual motion machine.
In the context of that statement, explain why wolf packs do not eat their young, or each other.On the other hand, if the only purpose of life is survival of the fittest, to procreate, then cannibalism should be perfectly acceptable.
Are you saying that God could not have made it so we didn't need food to survive?

Some will say "that's the way it has to be". - But surely God, in all His unending power, could have made the universe exactly how He wished.

I'm not even kidding. I get so frustrated when people can't see how bizarre it is that this God, who determines the outcomes of the Superbowl, allows 500,000-1,000,000 Rwandans to die in a genocide. I. Just. Don't. Get. It. I just don't understand how people can believe in this God when there is so much horribleness in this world. People won't even admit, "Yeah, it's a bit strange." They'll just say "sin tainted the world" or something like that.
People and animals still needed to eat before the fall.
What if God exists but the Bible is not a 100% factual account but a mythical one? That, to me, is by far the most likely explanation. If one had to believe every word in the Bible to be a Christian their numbers would plummet.
That is not true. The myth of Adam and Eve, same as the myths of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Samson, Jonah et al, by their legendary rather than factual status do not disprove the existence of God. They merely become useless as historical records.
But he could have. He could have created a universe where people don't starve to death. Right? I don't get it. He is omnipotent.

Yep, and if your read the scripture, everything was vegetarian.

With whom have you confused me with this time?What about your claim that you once knew "it"? Let's talk about that in the context of your question.

Like what, for wolves?Could it be that there's more to life than survival of the fittest?

How does "survival of the fittest" as used in the scientific theory of evolution not allow for behaviours such as wolves not eating their own young?
Then He should have just created animals and we would be monkeys. They can't sin.
Dogs humping legs ?I think it's such a weird thing to say that animals cannot sin. Chimpanzees commit infanticide. They also kill each other in tribal warfare. Is that not sin?
