Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?

Answer 1

If god existed and created us, then we are quite likely one of his blunders. Looking at the human body from a medical or molecular-biology point of view, we are horrendously inefficient machines, fragile, prone to breakdowns, and with an appallingly short lifetime of under a century. We require constant inputs of water and food energy. We have very narrow temperature constraints. We are vulnerable to all sorts of toxins, poisons, parasites, cancers, viruses, genetic errors, protein cross-linking, free radical oxidative damage, etc. We are becoming more scientifically intelligent over time but are still prone to irrational thoughts including superstitions, dogmas, and emotion-based thought.

In short, if god was our creator, he was one lousy engineer--a real flunkie.

Of course in reality, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that gods are anything more than figments of our imaginations, wishful thinking carried over from more primitive ages to explain stuff we couldn't figure out at the time. Given the harm that religion has done to mankind--the wars, killing, forced misery, stunted thinking, assaults on freedoms, and destruction of intellectual integrity--I can only conclude that the whole notion of gods was one of humanity's most regrettable mistakes.

Answer 2

None are blunders. All are meant to exist. Evil and good are the ying and yang to create balance in life. God experiences himself and life through us. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. After spiritual growth through 7 densities, we return to whence we came-Heaven-unity with the Creator. God is perfect and is no blunder. Man is imperfect but is no blunder because he was created by God who is perfect who is no blunder. We never die. We recycle.

Answer 3

God has a purpose for man, hence He has not committed any blunder by creating him. However, man's blunder about God consists not in conceptualising His existence; He exists. Man's blunder about God consists in the conceptualisation of the latter's form, abode, attributes, messages/messengers, etc. God is love, and prepares no hell for anybody.

Answer 4

if we were God's blunders why create us in the first place?...God is one of man's blunders for the fact that he can never be perfect...and man being rational and intelligent can not resolve that even with his greatest achievements he can never be GOD..

Answer 5

Living human kind were at loss on the definition of worshiping God.
So they created the blunders for themselves on planet earth.
The definition of worshiping God is to follow instruction.
Simple instruction living human kind do not even know how to follow..
But every one wanted to be the Bosses on planet earth.
The definition of worshiping God is to follow the instruction manual and master it with time that became success in worshiping God on planet earth.
Without the instruction manual living human kind all ended up in following the Mummy back to the graveyard instead of following our creator on planet earth.
See how the blunders and slip-ups with human errors after the loss of the instruction manual with time had created havoc on planet earth.
How living human kind all became lost and stranded on planet earth.
At losss with the missing x-files on planet earth.
Try and ask Mulder and Scully about the X-files.

Answer 6

I'd say Man is one of NATURE'S wonders AND blunders, seeing as how we keep destroying all of nature's other wonderful creations.

As for God, he's a meme, baby, a meme.

Answer 10

I would like to comment on Libertarian's answer. What machines that we've built can grow and reproduce themselves? What machines have a self-repair mechanism installed in them? And finally what machines are self-conscious?
