Moses never destroyed anything that was made by God that God Himself didn't tell him to destroy. Moses disobeyed God one time when God told him to speak to the rock and water would come forth. Moses did so, but he got impatient when the water didn't gush out immediately, and he smote the rock with his staff. For this act, which was in direct disobedience of God's word, Moses only got to see the Promised Land from the top of Mount Pisgah. He died on the to of Mount Pisgah and Joshua led the people on to the Promised Land.

Why do you think that things God creates cannot be destoyed? We are doing a pretty good job of destroying the Earth, and God created that, too. How many species of animals, which God also created, have gone extinct? I believe that God has given the freedom to accept or reject him and his creations.

Moses was a nut. He went on top of a mountain, where no one could see him. Then he comes back with some rules and people think they gotta obey them or some boogie man will get them and make them go to hell, where is arch enemy lives. Why people beleive this crap is beyond me. I guess fear is a good motivator. Why would god and satan work togethor on our souls. Aren't they battling each other for them. Religon makes no sense.
