Why was God so unfair when he made some animals, like humans defective and others virtually perfect ?

Question

Why are some people given genes for talent, while others have absolutely none.
some for looks, while others have none, some for perfect health while others are ticking time bombs and one thing or another is ALWAYS wrong.
Some are brilliant geniuses while others are dumb as a rock, or worse a vegetable.

Answer 1

Well you can't have everything and there is no such thing as "perfect". A person can look perfect (in your opinion) on the outside, but maybe they have health problems. A person that is perfectly healthy can be ugly (in your opinion). A millionaire can be severely depressed because they lost a child. There is no such thing as perfect. Count your blessings for whatever you have.

Answer 2

As far as the animals are concerned, each of God's creations, no matter how simple has a purpose. We might just not know what there is.

As far as humans, I'm afraid you're suffering from misconception. No human has perfect health. NONE. If that were the case no one would die. You might have relatively health individuals but they eventually age and die. This was never God's plan. At Ecclesiates 3:11 we are told he put eterninity into our hearts. Why do that & not give us the ability TO live forever. Scientists don't understand why we die. They say that our cells have the ability to regenerate themselves indefinitely but can't figure out why they DON'T. The answer is at Romans 5:12. "Sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin." That is why we die. In terms of the variety in us humans, I think it's just diversity. We'd be pretty boring to look at or be with if we all looked alike and all did pretty much the same things, wouldn't we?

=========

A question for those who favor the idea of evolution. Evolution essentially is about natural selection. OK. Then if that's the case, why is there no perfection in the human race? Why are the rejects still around?

Answer 3

Just because your defective, no talent,ugly,dumb as a rock,and pretty much a ticking time bomb who will probably end up a vegetable does not mean that God is unfair it's just your lot in life.

Answer 4

You can't look at it like that. The reason why it seems some have much better lives than others is because of our values in this day and age. Talent is reverred because it brings fame, fortune and popularity. Intelligence does the same, but what some people lack in others have a great deal. For example take Stephen Hawking; he could be considered to be the smartest person alive but he can't speak for himself nor walk or move for that matter. I believe that everyone was created in God's image and has amazing things they can do. Nobody is good at everything, but I believe everyone has the ability to do one thing amazingly. So try not to look at it has this person has this and that doesn't. It is all a matter of perspective and we are all equal in God's eyes.

Answer 5

When you think of it, all people are individuals and although some are more so called beautiful, all are beautiful in their own way. For every person out there there is a mate no matter where or who what animal it is. I am sure that God means well and when one looks at the different species of animals, they ALL look the same as the next one. Think of it, when it says in the Bible to us the humans, "EACH UNTO HIS OWN". I believe that we are our own worst enemy when it comes to interracial marriages and black with white and mixed lines etc, not to condone or destroy this as some people see it as OK , but when you see all the disformed and mentally challenged etc and looks distorted, not just with intermarriages, but by the chemicals in foods, drugs, alcohol, pollution etc etc. We are killing ourselves and all the humans look different. So as it says, EACH UNTO HIS OWN has some sort of meaning to it. Nobody knows how beautiful the humans were thousands of years ago as no pictures etc, but the Phaerohs and so on were supposedly very handsome and also the maidens of that time, so the intermarriages seem to me in my book, to be the downfall of man according to the Bible, and also you do not ever see too many difigured animals, they are with their OWN type. Next time watching a widlife show, look at the Zebras etc or even here the Canada geese flying overhead and say to yourself..(each unto his own). Have a beautiful life and may you see yourself as beautiful too, because you are.

Answer 6

I don't believe god has anything to do with it. It's called survival of the fittest. Smarter animals know to be selective and pick the best match for them. Other's take what's given to them.

Same goes for humans. Think about it. Everything around us is survival. Smart people tend to lead a better and more fulfilling life than less intellectuals.

Also, I practiced at my talents over and over since I was small. I can draw, write, sing, do any craft that involves my hands. I can do thins because I understand the concept behind these things, and how they work. Talent is just an understanding of how things work, in my opinion.

Answer 7

all these things are subject to the eye of the beholder. humans are the real creators of such judgments, god is everything and everything is equal, nothing is higher or better then anything else. the things you are speaking of are social judgments, look past such superficial ideals and you will no longer find the need for such questions. everything is fair and perfect or it would not exist.

what's so bad about being a vegetable, it seems like life would not be so bad , not feeling all the pains ...

Answer 8

God is Justice and Fairness

you answered yourself when you said, allow me to copy and paste, :
some people given genes for talent, some for looks, some for perfect health, Some are brilliant geniuses

you just mentioned impliedly that everyone has his own advantage.
very cute girls can be so stupid while geniuses are ugly

Answer 9

Beauty and Talent are in the Eye of the Beholder, no one is more 'talented' then anyone else.

Besides, if your talkign about Mental Illness ,thats due to generations of inbreeding after the Ice Age nearly wiped out our ancestors.

Just yet another argument which proves Christians wrong

Answer 10

God made everyone with a special talent. Read the Bible. And also by reading the Bible, you will see in the Old Testament that people lived 700, 800, 900 years. God designed us originally to be self-healing, long-living and perfect. WE are the ones who messed it all up. Don't blame God.
