Hi Jim!

God did not create the problems on Earth. When God created Earth, it was a paradise. However, he did give humanity free will, and by doing so, he made a conscious decision to back away from controlling his creations. Therefore, without God's all-encompassing control, humanity was free to exercise its gift of free will as it pleased, which has caused both wondrous things and terrible things to happen. Why doesn't God fix it all? Consider God to be as a loving parent: we can ask him for help, but we have to solve our own problems. Does God have an active role in human existence today? That depends on your point of view.

Your question ignores the perfect attributes of a supreme being. Such a being would be incapable of acting illogically. Thus, God could not create a rock He could not move, or create a complexity he could not repair.
The attributes of God are related to the philosphy of religion and require some formal study of logic in order to be fully understood.

I think the whole thing for me about God is that he created this Earth and the gave us the freedom to take it and make with it as we please,
unfortunately we have taken this wonderful world and turned it into a complex problem that we can't fix, and he won't fix it because we need to make our own decisions

~~~ JD,,,, This is The Paradox of "Satan", if you will,,,,According to the christian myth, god gave "his word" to satan that he could live on earth and therefore, in his omniscience(perfection), could not "break his promise",,,, and since the Science of The Bible dictates that The Earth is the Center of The Universe, and therefore god's First Priority and/or no other "Living Planet" exists in his cosmology, he puts his kids on the same rock. Yes, it defies logic and all rationale...score another one for Science and tear out another page of "biblical fact".

Hi Jim. Its good to see you're still alive. And I see you havent matured much since the last question I answered of yours.
I still have hope for you. And thats in the face of a scientific fact that you are a hopless case.

It is not the problems that are complex, but the solution that reflects the complexity of the situation.

God didnt create an earth with problems... people choose to do so many wrong things that they destroy the earth that God created...
people CHOOSE to kill innocent people
people CHOOSE to rape, molest, abuse people
people CHOOSE to blow up buildings, cars, people
looks to me like the problem is... US!

Looks like he already did.
Or would have, had he existed and been the creator of this place.
