Nature is trying to make the perfect human but religion keeps messing things up. Take the knee for instance. Is nature fighting against all the kneeling the religious do? What about the neck? Is it suffering from the strain of being stretched so as to bow the head? And the rectum? Will all the people who talk from it force nature to evolve it into another mouth?

Well according to my beliefs in Christianity..He did make us perfect and made our world disease free..However, Adam and Eve chose to sin and disobey God so we all unfortunately suffer for what they did. Diseases, death, disabilities those are a direct result from sin and the fact that God gave us free will to decide what we want for ourselves..
Not saying it makes the most sense, not saying I haven't occasionally questioned it myself..but it is what it is. I hope this was logical enough..I really tried.

He did make us perfect. He also gave us free will...which is why we aren't perfect anymore. Cos Eve comitted a sin well before she ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge! Her sin was ignoring what God asked her NOT to do and disobeying Him totally. That's where the fall happened! So we were perfect in the garden of Eden...but since we chose to please ourselves rather than Him, He had to come down in human form to die for us - cos sin separates us from God...and to be honest, I can't imagine anything worse than spending an eternity without Him!

I think Christians think that we were made 'perfect' and then Daddy got angry and made the rest of us a MKII disease-ridden and disabled bunch because the MKI prototypes (name of Adam and Eve) were naughty people.

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?
No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:
"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188
Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.
The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.
The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.
But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?
All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.

What do the fingers of God look like when He is creating?
I know He is creating a new life in me right now fashioned in the image of His Son.
Just what does it take to create a spiritual being?

Yeah, If god was perfect his creations would be perfect and so would their decisions. God's existence is impossible.
Atheists (and delusional christians) read these websites. The first only contains wuotes from the bible that shows it promotes rape, slavery, and murder.

If God (Allah) make us perfect, then we will be invidualistic.
He make us imperfect, so that we can help each other and unite.
I think that logic enough for me.

Change. You have to factor in constant, unremitting change. Your preferred Universe would be a marble hall.
