  I saw the recent nature movie Chimpanzee that was in the theater a few months back, and let me tell you, that was sure an eye opener for me. Very amazing footage and interactions they were able to capture; i've never seen anything quite like it. They filmed this group of Chimps for a few months and captured what it's like to live as chimp, the hardness of life, the threats etc. Now putting all of the cute and fun stuff that we all think of when we think of chimps aside, there was always this constant threat lurking in the background. This particular group of chimps had a prime resource - a nut grove; which kept them well fed.

  There was another group of chimps that were starved for resources and moving in on their territory, and a war was brewing. There ended up being a big chimp on chimp battle, and casualties and deaths followed. Now this cycle will no doubt repeat itself as long as the jungles are there.

  Ask yourself, is it a beautiful thing that animals of the same kind are fighting to the death, for resources? Is this by design? If there is a god who created with love, is it rational that he would make Chimps who never sinned, subject to this hard and difficult life of threats of war, war, and death? Furthermore is man really the one that invented war, or is it just a product of evolution - survival of the fittest?

  Very interesting movie, I'd highly recommend it.

  "through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin. Thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned"

  this statement still does not answer the question.......why do we have natural disasters? Why do people and animals suffer and die from floods one year.....and then die of thirst due to a draught the next year? Why did god create constantly moving tectonic plates that result in earthquakes that take human lives?

  Let's see.....prior to Adam's sin, the earth was perfect so there were no floods and droughts and earthquakes, right? This means that God must have purposely changed all the physical attributes of this world in order to accomodate his plan for revenge on Adam. "I'll get that Adam! I'll show him! Instead of just allowing him to die.......I'll screw up the forces of nature so that horrific natural disasters occur too. That'll show him." What a great guy

  How does one explain that Jehovah created the universe perfectly once, and yet had to give and change the laws for the jews at least two times and then according to xians these laws are over and dont count ? Does this sound like the handiwork of the same architect ?

  Not entirely true. I mean, technically, those laws are indeed supposed to be over and don't count. But for some reason, the WT picks and chooses which parts of the Mosaic Law to still follow.

  The OP title is exactly the scientific argument or challenge used by some Muslims to prove Allah exists, they ask who created you. The argument goes because you cant answer this easily they of course provide the answer with "Allah".

  Truth be said, Jehovah would deprive me of every ounce of pleasure he could get away with. The pleasure that manages to get through, he expects copious praise for--which he isn't getting. What about all the many times Jehovah has stopped Satan and His Demons from getting the opposite sex into my life? Jehovah has used his angels to maneuver the environment to make it impossible and highly offensive for me to even try, and he is determined to see that my soul never sees anything different. - WTWizard

  I LOL'ed at this so hard! Thank you! (tears of spastic joy)
