Because he wants humans to find answers for themselves.
Humans started theese things.(except the cancer)
They must end them !
Help the poor - People made so much advanced weaponry,enough for every living man on earth to have his own house,a good car,fine life.
Create peace and terorisam - Bil Clinton started the war at Kosovo,killed thousands of innocent people.Now George Bush continues his legacy in Iraq.
Tell if I'm wrong !
People are guilty for all these problems.God has nothing to do with them !
He wants to help,but the guilty won't listen.Until they do,he will punish them,and they will punish the innocent. It was always the case,it is now.

Jesus Christ will return and do exactly this one day. However, God gave us everything that we need to do it ourselves. You don't need to cure cancer, when cancer can be prevented from happening. In the USA the poor are helped and the only reason they aren't made rich is because the very wealthy are greedy. If we would all follow the Word of God and do as God commands us, terrorism would be gone and we would have peace on this earth.
Man stops this from being done, not God. In God's Word we are told exactly how to act and if we do God's will God will put no problems on us.

God does not interfere with the free will of man. It is up to man to feed the poor and to create peace. And the only way of bringing peace is by showing respect to one another. People are starving world wide because of the greed of mankind. Like the people in Africa would not be starving if their government would stop confiscating all the food that is shipped there on a daily basis.

If God is not real why do you make such a question?
Why dont you share your money with the poor?
Have you ever donate money for cancer?
Do doctor wanna really find the cure for cancer?
This world is all about the money. They make more money with chemotherapies, than curing cancer.
Doctor are rich in these country, they get rich with the money of the poor.
Terrorism? God do not cause terrorism. People do it.
Peace? Why do you ask for peace if you don't believe?

Why should he. You are a victim of your own morals. Lets say there is no God. Why do you waste money on things you don't need and instead help your fellow man. Why do you support companies that destroy our natural habitat or use people as slaves. Why did people ever support slavery. Cancer is caused by mutated cells generally caused by something taken into the body that shouldn't have been like smoking. For that matter why do people smoke, do drugs and drink knowing that there is no God.
At least with a God I have a chance of living a perfect life. I will never see perfection on this world.

God isn't some sort of supernatural vending machine. He's a PERSON. He can pick and choose just like you. In fact, He DOES cure illnesses, he helps the poor all the time, He's provided for peace within. He'll get around to terrorism eventually. Right now it's a free-will issue. But the Whore of Babylon will indeed rue the day she encouraged that evil.

humans are real, look what we've done. Why can't men cure cancer, help the poor, create peace, and end terrorism?
One day God will clean up our mess on earth. Why would God give us those things now? look what mankind does.

Oh, how lost some people are... :(
I won't single anyone out specifically--but for those of you who don't believe in Jesus NOW, trust me when I say that one day you will. And by then, it may be too late to do anything about. The Bible clearly says that "one day EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD". That pertains to even the people who did not believe in God here on earth. It is simply a fact that He is real, and that He ultimately rules this earth (and the new earth to come).
In answer to the question, as someone on here disputed, it all comes back to free will. And I know it sounds redundant, but that's just the way things are.
You can blame Satan, Adam, Eve--whoever you need to blame (since most of us can't take responsibility for our own actions)--for taking perfection away by disobeying the Father's command. But regardless of what you think or say, the original "fall of man" is the reason that things are the way they are now in our world. If Adam and Eve had not followed Satan's temptations, we would not have to deal with cancer, terrorism, or anything of the like.
On the flip side, for the sake of looking at things "through rose-colored glasses", we can thank the Lord that He at least had enough mercy in Him that He would give us the choice to follow Him during our time on this earth. If He'd not sent His son to die as an atonement for our sins, we would all have the inevitable destiny of living in eternal damnation--there, we would burn and suffer day in and day out, with no hope and no love in our lives.
So instead of constantly complaining about how bad things are in life, let's do something to change that within ourselves (AKA accepting Jesus as our Savior, and following the Holy Spirit's guiding in our lives). And in turn, we might be able to bring some light and hope to other people's lives so they can share the same thing with others. At least in that case, we have heaven to look forward to, beyond what hell lies in this earth.
Blessings to you all. :)

We have been taught, through the centuries, that suffering and death are the consequences of Adam and Eve's " fall from grace."
Before the " Fall " there was no pain or death. Life after the fall added a new perspective on pain and suffering. Personal bad conduct and social injustice only added fuel to the fire.
Selfishness, resentments, and the loss of intimacy with God's sanctifying Grace intensified the suffering and pain as we see it today.
Bottom line-we suffer from the mortality of our human nature and added to that, the sinfulness we encounter in our world.
What we are suffering from in reality is unredemptive suffering brought on by our human frailities. Which in turn, makes it difficult for those who must tend to the needs of the victims.
From the moment we are born untill the moment we die, mankind will experience any degree of suffering. From teething pains to facing death we cannot escape these growth pains. But we most certainly can eliminate social injustice and accidental suffering. Instead of blaming God and moaning and griping about our human condition, God gave us the ability to make the choices, whether to do good or evil ( Hitler comes to mind here).
Besides evil in the world was made from a choice someone choose to act on from the Gift of Free-will that God gave to each and everyone of us human creatures he loved so much.
All the acts of violence and terrorism and any other kind of social injustice are caused by people, or else are not prevented by those who have the power to do so, such as war, crimes and famines are largely the consequences of selfishness.
We experience sickness because we are vulnerable to germs and toxins-not because God is punishing us, smoking for example, irresponsible sex practices, and alcohol and drug addictions. Its a pattern that upon reviewing our conduct in each could have been prevented. God had nothing to do with causing those choices made to do any of the above.
When we think about your question, why doesn't God stop all of this ( He will but the time is not right yet), we know from the beginning that any evil act is the natural and logical consequence of the misuse of the freedom God gave us when He created us. And if He had to stop us from doing bad deeds and made each of us do only good deeds, what does that make us? We'd be like a bunch of robots all doing the same thing. Where's the freedom in that? We wouldn't be amazing at all, we wouldn't be the perfect creation that He claims to have created in His word, would we?
God loves you and He hears your distress, all you have to do is tell Him what your telling us and you will see that He stands with us in the battle of suffering and pain. Only in the eternity will the scales of justice finally be balanced. We can trust that our just and merciful God will give each of us what we deserve.
God Bless

He created earth and everything on it. He began life. we have to figure out how to accomplish our goals and fix our problems. there are reasons why people get cancer, why certain people are poor, why there isn't peace and so on. this one time i was real upset because it seems like nothing good ever happens to me and sat there and cried. then it hit me. if everyone got what they wanted everytime they asked for it, there would be nothing to strive. we would always get what we want and we would never be able to appriecate what we have. if we have bad times He want you to strive to be the best you can be and do all you can to fix it. if God always gave us what we wanted, we'd be spoiled children that don't appriecate the things we already have. that's why God doesn't do everything for us.
