If the religions claim that God is perfect, how come He created this planet with faults?

Question

What was He thinking?

I'm referring to the faults that cause earthquakes.

Answer 1

The men who created God have showed the faults of their intellect and understanding of what was really going on. We have since learned that some of the things that they thought were wrong. They were dummies. So when mistakes are found in the Bible people will come up with all sorts of self created explanations and excuses. Just look at some of the ridiculous answers they have given here.

Answer 2

How does the world have faults? Mankind has faults because God created faults, so your Bible says. Man does not create, God creates, therefore if evil and imperfection exist is it the will of God. It was, according to Genesis, God that tempted man with the Tree of the Knowledge..., the snake just asked a question. If he did not want man to eat the Fruit, why did he put it right in the middle of the garden of Eden?

Answer 3

It seems to me that God cannot be perfect, if one of his roles is that of creator. Some argue that it is not God but us or our perceptions that make the world seem imperfect. But still, God is the creator, and he made his creations with faults in behavior or perception which therefore makes him an imperfect creator. Would you call someone a perfect programmer if their program had glitches in it? I think not. The idea of a perfect God doesn't compute with me.

And if God is perfect, why would he need to create us? Creators don't create things unless they are needed or desired to do something the creator cannot. I mean, people wouldn't need cars if they could travel just as fast on foot without getting tired. We wouldn't have musical instruments if we could make the same exact sounds ourselves. So if God created us, we must serve a function that he couldn't fulfill himself. Perhaps, he was lonely and so wants to be loved, or maybe he was bored and looks down on us like an author reading his own book. I'm not sure if there is a God. But if there is, I'm sure he's not perfect.

Answer 4

This life is a test and God has given humans a mind to choose their own paths. This world was created by God but mankind has created the faults because we are not perfect.

If the world were perfect - what would be the point of life?

Answer 5

The planet was created perfect. It was man's choice to sin that brought corruption into the world. this world now belongs to Satan. It is God that offers a way to cope with the problems and gives hope for the future. So...its kind of our fault the world isnt perfect.

Answer 6

Faults were created so we can have earthquakes...

OK, now my more serious answer is that the Earth is perfect. He created the Earth as a proving grounds for our spirits. It is a place for our faith and obedience to be tested. He has given us our free agency so we can choose right or wrong. Unfortunately there are too many who choose the latter a bit too frequently.

Answer 7

Just in case you really wanted to know (which I doubt - could that be God's imperfection or yours; or possibly mine?) God created Lucifer, a perfect glorious being, but one with free will, and the freedom to choose good or evil.If you want to read the story see Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-19; and then read John 8:42-44. Once evil was chosen, the irreversible process of corruption was initiated, like a crack in a flawless crystal, and it will continue until a time of re-creation of all things, wherein evil will be forever separated from the good. Hence the doctrine of eternal judgment.
" "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, , neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8.9)
Hope that helps, little clay man !

Answer 8

God is perfect and this planet was perfect as well when God created it. He gave men free will and that is what corrupted the planet. May God Bless

Answer 9

PREPARATION OF PLANET EARTH FOR HABITATION

Say that Day one through day four and into day five animals made from water, and into day six with animals domestic made from dust elements of the earth and finally a man is made and all is perfect 41,870 years after it is started.

Man is meant to have eternal life and his first day, as he is created in the image, and in likeness of God and his first day would have been 1000 years, angels Luke 20:34-36 that can not die, Job 38:4-7 angels that have been there to see earth become a focus for habitation and to see all the preparation from the start. Angels are called morning stars and sons of God. Jesus was there John 17:3,5,24; Rev.22:16 Jesus is called the bright and morning star Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14 the first creation, created in the image of God [ Jesus is the only one qualified to save all that has been lost ];

WHAT HAS BEEN LOST SINCE ADAM WAS CREATED

First was eternal life, no man lived to be 1000 years of age, God said, he would die in the day he sinned in, he sinned and lived 930 years and that being 70 years short of his first 1000 year day. But those born in sin before the flood lived to be near 1000 in the life sustaining earth.
The life sustaining earth was lost in the flood. From that time man is imperfect and full of faults on an imperfect planet, full of faults as well.
The promise for man and for the planet is to be made as perfect as before Eden.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world [ from Eden ], that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Isa.65:17; 66:1,22,23; 2Pet.3:13; THERE WILL BE A NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH.
1Cor.15:22 AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.

Life is short a full of troubles, but we have the promise that we are going to have all that was meant to be in the first place, if he wipped us out, we would not have the promise.
Adam passed sin or imperfections onto us, it is not our fault, we can add sin to sin because of being born in sin, or we can love God and resist all that he does not like.

Satan sinned and he is the cherub anointed over Eden and he is also with the sons of God Job 2:1,2; Isa.14:12-14; Eze.28:13-15 called Lucifer means day star, world leaders are compared to him. Called serpent Gen.3:1-5 he decieved Eve, John 8:44 Satan is cause of every death of the offsprings of Adam, and angels sinned before the flood Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4; Gen.6:2,4; and will be judged 1Cor.6:2,3;

Man will be judged Heb.9:27; 1Cor.15:22-28;51-53 there will be a heavenly body over an earthly body Rev.20:1-6 [ heavenly body in new heavens ], 12, 13 [ earthly body for the new earth ]; THIS WILL END THE 49,000 YEARS WITH ALL AS PERFECT AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE. The last 1000 years belongs to Jesus to make all perfect again.
