Why not start over and reprogram humans to be nice and caring and loving? Seriously, We are basically a flawed experiment. Please don't answer by using scripture. Answer on your own with your own words.

No I don't think so. The experiment has not ended. I think if we end up destroying ourselves, God will be disappointed.

I think it comes down to this: do you want free will, or do you NOT want free will? Free will means having the ability to make bad decisions, and not just good ones. You CAN'T have free will, not in any real sense, without the ability to be evil or do bad things. I don't think the experiment is flawed at all, because millions of people all over the world do the right thing. Millions ARE nice and caring and loving. Many people in our lives do good things, and if you don't know anyone that is nice, then I'm sorry, but even in third world countries there are nice people trying to make the wrongs right. Many people do good things every day of their lives. Without the ability to NOT be so, though, it would be meaningless. We would be robots. We would not be happy.
The fact is that we have the ability to do good. We have the potential to make this world the world it should be. God gave us that potential. It is up to us to use it. The key to happiness in this life is to make that effort and to be the best people we can. Some of us will succeed, and some of us will fail, but without the ability to fail, success is meaningless, as is life itself. In any case, if you really believe in God, then you have to understand that this life here is not the big picture. In the overall scheme of things, considering the possibility of rewards and consequences in the next life, this "experiment" hardly seems flawed. So long as you do your best to be one of the nice and caring people, then you are proof of this experiment's success!

Flawed experiment...you make it sound like this is the end and not the beginning of the process.
What you said is like saying that while learning to rid a bike and falling a couple times, the whole idea should be strapped. It was a failed experiment...people can not ride bikes.
We are only just beginning...the experiment is going very well.

Does the word of God scare you? You ask about God and his sadness about us,yet you do not want to hear from him?
God never programmed man to be nice,caring,and loving. He made man in his image but due to their disobediance it came to a flaw. That is called free will. Yet we are never a flawed experiment with the Master of life. We do sadden him at times but he makes provisions for our mistakes even if we blame him for them. One thing I can say for God he is never surprised and he knew before hand about each of us. We are the clay and he is the potter,so why get upset when he formed the clay? Do you really think God goes back to the drawing board and restarts. No,he knows us inside and out he knew what and when we would do anything. So calm down he is in control....it is Satan that is mistified he does not know everything nor does he know God's plan...God does brag about his creation. Satan hates it. He is here to kill steal and destroy the joy of our life. I am telling you from what I know about God and experienced ...God is good and he protects and directs us if we would only listen and obey his call.

We are not a FLAWED experiment of God. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that wonderful thing God created within us.....A FREE WILL.
We can choose to be caring and loving or not....but in the end we will all be held accountable for what we have chosen. If the world was all nice, caring and loving, what would the challenge be in our life here on earth?

First of all we are not God's experiment- we are God's workmanship. We are the ones, that are flawed- God created us to be perfect and have a wonderful relationship with Him- however WE are the ones that chose to sin. Look at it this way- God created us, we messed up- God sent His Son so that we can, IF WE CHOOSE- can become more like who He created us to be. If God created us , and then let us "rot" in our sin- I still could not say, He made us wrong- because He is God and we are not- but look at it this way- God did not leave us in our sin- He loved us so much, long before we were even conceived that He gave His only Son to die the death that we all deserve to die. He did not leave us alone- He made a way for us to live with Him, and like Him- why not look at His love , then you will see that God does not make mistakes.

well actually we werent an experience, we were his creation, his purpose for all humanity in the beginning was to live forever in paradise, because if you are familiar with the story of adam and eve, they were 2 beautiful and perfect beings, in a beautiful paradise, everything given to them, and unfortunately they lost it all when they rebelled against God, so is God upset yes because he loves humanity which is why he wrote the bible using the prophets, because if you follow the bible word for word you'll find true happiness in life and in marriage, because he's our creator he knows exactly what we need to be happy. but God did not intend to for us to turn out the way we did, God is love he would never do such a thing, but if you read closely in the bible, Gods intentions of humanity living perfectly and in peace are still there. We all have the opportunity to live in a new world here on this earth we just have to listen closely to what the bible says and wat God expects from us.

I've thought about the world being a big experiment before, if it is, it must be pretty entertaining to watch. I'm not sure god would be sad about it though.

I know this may be an inappropriate thing to say but.....read Memnoch the Devil, by Anne Rice. It really made me think to be honest. Memnoch the Devil takes Lestat on a tour of Creation...its a brain jerker for sure.

God was creating family. We all know how family can be. You know that old saying, " you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family." Well He made us the way we are and loves us still, I find great comfort in that. No matter how badly any of us are He still wants us to come to Him and be loved.
