Some typical responses to the idea of God causing death are:
'To resolve the overpopulation problem'. Wouldn't it make more sense to not cause a population problem to begin with, unless we think humans create life.
'Nobody wants to live forever.' True, but if free will is considered valid, why is it not the individual's choice as to when to die. This happens relatively seldom.
'Humans are allowed to choose to kill each other.' But this doesn't address accidental death such as a tree falling on someone.
"Adam sinned and we're paying the price.' So, millions of years ago, some guy ate an apple when he was told not to, and ever since then, humans have been tortured to death by God. This isn't my idea of a loving God.
Is there a ligitimate answer to the above question, or do we have to accept that even death and accidents are not controlled by God, and that everything just happens?
