Answer 1

You should have added "A serious answer, not a cop out like 'god works in mysterious ways' or 'it is the work of satan'"

Answer 2

Assuming that you are wanting a spiritual response... There are many things that we do not understand about God and will never understand until we actually get to heaven. But just remember this, Job was an awesome servant of God but still felt compelled to question God when he faced so much loss and grief. When Job began to regret the day that he was born, God rebuked him and asked him where he was when he created the universe! To some this may seem like a "cop-out". Personally, I would doubt the deity of any entity whose level of wisdom, understanding and thinking were equal to my own.

mutations are essential to the survival of the species.. by ensuring adaptation of the species to a changing environment. this means of course due to the randomness of the occurrence of the mutation that some animals will be more suited for the environment and others will die. strangely enough, this principle is the backbone of the theory of evolution

Answer 5

Perhaps if he provided us with the perfect world that we all seem to think he owes us, without all the pain and suffering, trials and tribulation, mankind might never mature beyond the level of a spoiled child. Call it tough love - "Don't expect me to come and kiss your booboos. Figure out for yourselves how to survive and take care of each other. I love you people, but you're on your own."

Answer 6

God skipped class during the lesson "How to make genes"

Answer 7

All these questions about why does God allow this or that, why question our creator? It's all part of His great plan, maybe we won't get it now, but if you learn patience maybe we'll figure it out when we get to heaven. I say good day.

Answer 9

GOD is not allowing any mutation of any parts of your body. he commanded us to love our own body and not to inflict any injury to it. what he allows in the old testament is the circumzation of oiur private parts but not mutation as practice by other people in any country . mutation and circumzation are of different meaniongs. mutation means cutting of any part of the body while circumzation means the cutting of the foreskin on the private parts of a male. if you do not understand private parts , it is the penis of a male person

Answer 10

Don't you see in your own mind's defects and insecurities that there must be something greater than man to make the wind blow, put a star in the sky...
