Or rather, can he create perfection at all? Afterall, the implication from christians is that only god is perfect.... and I'll agree that this world has nothing resembling perfection in it.... So why the freg doesn't it? Either god didn't want to make a perfect world (which begs the question of what such a choice was meant to achieve)... or couldn't....
But anyhow.... think of the implications if the christian god could and did make a perfect replica of himself.
I mean... all us folks on the athiestic end of the spectrum wouldn't even notice any difference..... but the religious folks would go totally nuts! ^_^

nubian: Are you asking "why" of god's actions? The inevitable answer to that question is: "it is part of his plan"... followed by waggling of the fingers to make it seem all mysterious and stuff. Nobody knows why god does stuff. He just does. Assume that he just would autoreplicate for some unknown reason.

{ jamesmom :~ Tell that to the blind spot in my eyes, my coxxyx or my cross-bite. Perfection implies flawlessness... and I know for a fact that I'm full of flaws by anyone's definition... as is everything else around me. }

dude this is an awesome question. if he REALLY is all powerful he should be able to, correct? but then if there are two gods could they fight? would the original be superior? this is my favorite question ever, and i commend you.
furthermore, any god that makes you bow to him is not a good god at all, but a pretentious egomaniacal powerfiend...
a real god, i think, would be tired of submission and would prefer the companionship a peer would provide
good one, chief.

If god is perfect, then everything he makes or does is perfect (since that is required in perfection). Which means that everything, even in its imperfections, is essentially perfect...right? So under that rationality, if god were to create a new god (maybe he wants to take a holiday?) then that new mini-me god would also be perfect.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. While I do not believe in God, the logic of our physical world is perfect. Inserting something as illogical as God totally corrupts that logic and that perfection.

I was thinking about this the other week!
If he can't then he is not omnipotent.
If he can, maybe he doesn't want to have the competition !
edit: reply to: nubian greek:
do you know God's mind?

I think that is his intention with us...but as you can see the process is messy.
Jesus said, "Be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect."

Uh...why would he want to do this?
No, I don't know God's mind,but I do know that this is a really stupid question because nobody knows his mind. Because we don't know his mind, we can't answer this question.

just because you don't see perfection in all things does not mean it isn't there, your view is extremely limited
