Is God guilty of genocide and animal cruelty??

Question

according to an answer to my previous question.
Adam and Eve were made by God AFTER the Dinosaurs.
therefore following this line of "logic"
God must have been the one to kill off all the dinosaurs...
(I wonderered what happened to them!)

Did he have any rights to commit Genocide on such a large scale to make room for a bunch of planet destroying,immoral, fu(kwit homosapiens??

not to mention the flood thing...

Answer 1

Technically speaking, should 'God' exist, which logically is unlikely, and this deity created the planet, surely it's within its rights to destroy whatever it has created.

According to popular Western religion, God created the earth in a similar way to, say, Leonardo da Vinci creating one of his paintings. It's known that da Vinci painted over a number of his works to create the more famous pieces we see today and nobody complains about that. If we are in fact the creations of some 'higher being' then God is perfectly within its rights to dispose of us, the dinosaurs and whatever else it may choose to create. However, since there is no evidence for or against the deity theory, the conundrum is largely a hypothetical and ultimately useless one.

Nevertheless, since we regard ourselves as sentient beings and the destruction of life is regarded as genocide, this would seem to indicate that God is indeed guilty. But only from our point of view.

Really am gonna have to stop expressing my opinions on the internet!

Answer 2

Good question,

Of course you are right,,,

Very comical reading some of the answers here trying to attack what they know is a really good question that there is no logical answer for if you do believe in god???

Plus,,they themselves prove that there could not possibly have been a god as is stated in the bible or any other religious text.

If so, then why all the arguments???

The only arguments (most from murdering beheading muslims) are that their god is the only god and anyone else with any other faith should burn in hell???

Sounds like the writings of men and women,,, not a god!!

Answer 3

Some scientists have a hard time explaining the reason they became extinct so suddenly. What happened? The answer can be found in the Bible, in the story of the world-wide flood in Genesis 7:1 – Genesis 8:1, TLB. “Finally the day came when the Lord said to Noah, "Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I consider you alone to be righteous. Bring in the animals - a pair of each, except those kinds I have chosen for eating and for sacrifice: take seven pairs of each of them, and seven pairs of every kind of bird. Thus there will be every kind of life reproducing again after the flood has ended. One week from today I will begin forty days and nights of rain; and all the animals and birds and reptiles I have made will die."

In Genesis 6:12 we find the answer. “And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Satan, the being who rebelled against God, cannot create, but he can change. The entrance of sin into the world allowed Satan to corrupt humans and other living creatures. Now we have leaves changed to thorns, teeth changed to poison fangs, genes changed into viruses and useful bacteria into disease producers. Satan corrupted some of the reptiles God originally created into the bizarre creatures we call dinosaurs. God chose not to save them at the time of the Flood. Perhaps God also saw that feeble post-flood humans would not be able to control such large animals. Thus, we suggest that God preserved the air-breathing, land animals, except the very large animals and the corrupted ones.

Answer 4

Yup this is just one of the many services that "god" has to offer. Death, destruction, hate, money, etc. These things that we love so much and call our own were put here by god from what I understand... Or the ideas for these things so God is guilty of so much. He IS a voyer... he likes to watch us like a bunch of lab rats running around screwing everything up and taking the blame. He is a sadistic voyer.

I have spent my life having religion shoved down my throat and for what to learn later in life that things such as rape, pain, dieases and other bad stuff exists! So pending that there is a "GOD" this is a real sick idea of a world. No one can tell me that we did this to ourselves because he was the one that created us (or so I am told but dont believe) so in the end he is responsible

Answer 5

everybody is cruel to animals via depleting the inventory. study Deuteronomy 22:6-7 "you're distinctive! you will possibly be to blame of sin, yet you have a soul!" you're in errors. Animals have souls, or (Hebrew) "nephesh". From the better half Bible: Nephesh is used of the decrease Animals purely, in twenty-2 passages, and is rendered in 9 distinctive methods: a million. "creature" Gen. a million:21, 24; 2:19; 9:10, 12. Lev. 11:40 six. 2. "component" Lev. 11:10. Ezek. 40 seven:9. 3. "existence" Gen. a million:20, 30. 4. "the existence" Gen. 9:4. Deut. 12:23. Prov. 12:10. 5. "beast" Lev. 24:18. 6. "the soul" interest 12:10. 7. "breath" interest 40-one:21. 8. "fish" Isa. 19:10. 9. "her" Jer. 2:24. Nephesh is used of the decrease Animals and guy in seven passages, and rendered in 3 distinctive methods: a million. "creature" Gen. 9:15, sixteen. 2. "the existence" Lev. 17:11, 14. 3. "soul" Num. 31:28. a million. Flesh 2. Spirit FLESH: Ecc. 3:19. For that which befalleth the sons of guys befalleth beasts; even one component befalleth them: by way of fact the single dieth, so dieth the different; yea, they have all one breath; so as that a guy hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is arrogance. "The sons of guys" are produced from flesh. Animals are flesh. In dying, there is not any distinction between a individual and an animal related to the flesh. Ecc 3:20 All pass unto one place; all are of the dirt, and all turn to dirt returned. yet "That that's born of the flesh is flesh; and that that's born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6, and study John 3:8 to Ecc 11:5, and notice 1Co 15:40 4. SPIRIT: (CLV and LITV) Ecc 3:21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of guy, whether it is going upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is going downward to the earth? The spirit of the guy is responded in Ecc 12:7. the two guy and animal is stated in Psalms 104:21-28. (LITV) Psa 104:29 You conceal Your face, and that they are bothered; You collect their breath (ruach = breath or spirit), and that they expire and return to their dirt. God Who gathers is likewise God Who sews. Deu 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is not any god with me: I KILL, and that i MAKE ALIVE; I wound, and that i heal: neither is there any that could furnish out of my hand.

Answer 6

I certainly dont agree with your logic: dinosaurs became extinct because of naturally occuring climate changes.
The only creatures to indulge in genocide and animal cruelty are us the so-called top of the evolution tree.

Answer 7

Firstly, genocide is used to refer to extermination of humans, not animals. It is important to not water down the meaning of the word.

My reading of Genesis is the dinosaurs co-existed with humans.

In regards to God's rights, he is God and he can do what he likes.

The reason for the flood of Noah is because the people alive prior to the flood were worse than us.

Answer 8

Dinosaurs and people were made by God on the same day. I suggest you ether go for creaion or go for evolution, but to mix them doesn't work out in either camp. If you accept evolution you don't have a god to work into the equasion, if you accept a Creator you don't need to work in a pre-history.

Answer 9

You know, if you just give up believing in this god described in the bible, you don't have to worry about such arguments as these. Who cares how many angels dance on the head of a pin?

Answer 10

If God made the universe then he is guilty of more than just genocide and animal cruelty. He is responsible for every single crime that was ever committed.
