How do Christians account for..
-The accountability of God for all evil and misfortune in the world (If he is all-powerful, it should be in his ability to prevent a child from contracting cancer, for example)
-The co-existence of an omniscient God and free will.
(If God, as an all-knowing being, knows what we are going to do, that means that events were predestined, which means we can't be held accountable for our actions and can't be damned to hell for them)
-The diversity of ethnicities present on Earth, if we all came from the same 2 people just a few thousand years ago (not my estimate, many Christian creationist take this to be the age of the earth, derived from all of the generations and years mentioned in the bible)
-and where the hell does the story of Lucifer's rebellion/fall come from? I know Milton wrote a whole book on it, but is there any evidence of such a conflict in scripture?
this should spark some good debate...
