for people who say there is no God,are not things in this world alittle to perfect for there not to be?

Question

so many simple reasons,water to drink,trees for housing,salt for taste,it may sound stupid but think about all the little things that just happen to be here

Answer 1

perfect????

-comets, asteroids, black holes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis.......PERFECT?!!!!! WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?

-The things we use to build and live upon where ALTERED by us for use. It isn't as if the world was created WITH houses, WITH clothing for warmth, WITH.......etc.
-To say the world was created perfectly for us is a profoundly untrue thing to say.

Answer 2

It's easier explained if you get cause and effect correct.

We are the effect, and we're looking at other effects thinking they are causes. Let me explain with a simple analogy:
You said salt was for taste, it is not just for that, it helps osmosis and keeps us properly hydrated. Trees were not meant for housing, they are alive of their own accord, and water is not meant for drinking, it's here because it's very simple [chemically] to make. Two Hydrogens and one Oxygen creating a plethora of effects so massive we still don't understand in complete certainty.

We are products of life, and ergo we must use materials to exist in, if we didn't we'd die. We use water to keep us hydrated, because our predecessors did; life came from water after all.

This world is perfect for mankind not because mankind deemed it to be, but because our biology made us capable of living here. But now a few counterpoints: if it were perfect, why are there sickness and death, why do people die inexplicably, why do we have to make better food crops to keep our growing population alive. Because you should realize that our crops had to be specially grown, bred and even some genetically engineered to support us.

The world is not perfect, because nothing is.

Answer 3

Engineers and Architects of these generation are using the Computer to execute their designs. Because of the general practice today in many advanced schools, many among them have the great idea but could hardly sketch it anymore by hand but they are prolific at presenting their works through the computer. Many more years will come and it will be impossible for them to believe that man can draw houses by hands.
It is the same as what has been happening now. All the scientific findings and technology we know now are finding it hard for us to accept a thing that exist many thousand years as true by merely believing in miracles and natural phenomena.
In that aspect, maybe it would be wiser not to argue our belief to those who do not but to go about our lives believing in what we know as good and right and let those who believe otherwise do what they are comfortable with. By that, we may be more at peace with one another.

Answer 4

perfect? hmmm that would be a subjective value judgment. would it not? i don't know that the traumatized and starving people in Darfur would call things "perfect". i don't know that a mother of encephalitic baby would call the world "perfect" either.
or a teenager girl dying of cancer. perfect world for her? some poor farmer standing in a drought blown wasteland. yep ... "perfect" world. a wealthy man surrounded by opulence drowning is his own slobbering greed. maybe it's a "perfect" world for him. maybe.

don't get me wrong. i love this planet and my grief at the destruction of all it's beauties is intense but Earth is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "perfect" world ... if by "perfect" means everything works, everything is fair, nothing is deformed or diseased.

i can see many reasons why many folks don't believe in an interactive god. look at the misery around you and wonder how any entity with the power to create a "perfect" world allows for the abject desperation and horrendous suffering right here... right now. you're living in lala land if you can't empathize with Atheists and Agnostics.

Answer 5

Wait...hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes make you think there is no God? What about the beauty of a sunset? What about the joy of new life coming into this world? What about the fact that the earth can support life? Does anyone realize the sheer odds of our planet supporting life? If this planet were slightly off of its orbit, it could not support life. Only a bit closer to the sun, and the surface would be too hot, and our planet would be filled with toxic clouds. A bit farther from the sun and we would be in an ice age. The odds for a planet like this to exist are staggering. Yes, there are problems, but perhaps they are there to make the survivors stronger.

And I hate hearing about war, terrorism, etc. Of the list above, only two are natural occurrences. Everything else is the result of free will which God gave each and every one of us.

Answer 6

No, this world is far from perfect. Think of all the little things that just happen to be here? Like what, AIDS? Terrorists? Tsunamis? Diabetes? Cancer? Tornadoes? Volcanoes? Having other beings suffer as the only way for us to survive?

Answer 7

People have a hard time appreciating the little things, as you say...So many focus on all the bad they simply can't enjoy the good..Of course there are many reasons for this, as we all know...Life is not easy, it can get in the way of living it seems...It can be hard to stay focused on today and see the beauty around us...I pray often through the day to appreciate God and all his glory, just for today...This is what sustains me and gets me through this rough, cold world we reside in, Thank God for Christ and the promise of a permanent dwelling of eternal peace and happiness in Heaven...God Bless you for noticing the "little things"

Answer 8

If you believe that God provided these things for man to use, then why is the use and abuse of these things the cause of their depletion? It is mother nature that has provided the earth's balance and the process of spontaneous evolution that repairs the imbalances. Unfortunately mankind has caused so much devestation and destruction of the earth since the industrial revolution that the earth just can't repair itself quick enough to be effective. Now, why doesn't your God step in and repair it, if you believe he created it for our use.

Answer 9

And what about all those craters in the moon. The moon just happened to be there to protect us against really huge Asteroids for the last few million years. God with his power could have set it just in the right place to protect us. There is no way evolution set the moon in just the right place. -- Praise God

Answer 10

Simple things make the world perfect to you, but God is no simpleton.

Answer 11

Life is here BECAUSE this is a good place for life. There are trillions and trillions of stars. Life is going to happen where the conditions are right.
