dfed is spamming the board by pasting selective arguments from the Watchtower brochure 'Does God Care'. I certainly hope board space is not wasted in an attempt to refute these poor arguments as it has been done over and over again.
It's what i thought exactly when I came aboard tonight.

Why not? In all honesty, I'm curious.

Is that because you really dont go to the meetings anymore, and your just messing with all of our heads?

The earth most certainly was 'created' as a vacation resort for humanity as creationists would have you believe. At best, humans are "accidental tourists". A great portion of the planet is completely UNINHABITABLE, we are constantly dealing with the wrath of nature (Katrina, anyone?) not to mention the millions of our other co-species that certainly dont co-exist too peacefully with us (mosquitos+ malaria+god's divine plan? lol)
The human body is a well adapted machine, but full of major "design" flaws. Our spinal cords and lower skeletons are not well suited for walking upright, hence our constant lower back problems and arthritic knees. We are prone to cancer, heart disease, mental illness, infections, etc etc.
If you were the supreme intelligence in the universe, would you design something with such overwhelming flaws? Does that make any logical sense? Was it that god designed it all to work perfectly, and seeing eve take a bite of the apple suddenly reversed the process to reveal all the malfunctions in the biological system? Alrighteeeee then!!
The old argument that "wow look how amazing the human eye is" (as I squint through my contact lenses) just doesnt hold water. Human organs are incredible when considered in their TOTALITY. In reality, they are only the sum of all their parts, and the individual PARTS, are relatively simple at the molecular and biological levels, and operate on basic principles of bio-electric and chemical signalling and many of these processes can be replicated in a petri dish.
