>>10765 >The world is imperfect and only God is perfect. The perfect being created an imperfect world where beings who are incapable of sin have to suffer? >Animals can't live another way! And nature can't be not like that! They are imperfect! God is an all-powerful being, he could've made the natural world a complex ecosystem where animals do not need to maim eachother, there's examples of that with herbivores or coral reefs. And yet he decided to make a world that includes suffering? >In God there is fullness, and His gifts and grace against the background of the world's insufficiency acquire meaning. That doesn't address why a supposedly omnibenevolent and omnipotent being would design a system where pain and violent death are necessary components of survival — millions of years before humans ever appeared. Are you perhaps stating that God created it just so he can be glorified in offering his "gifts and grace"? Cause no suffering is better than any suffering, especially when the animal can't learn anything from it like humans. >In any case, the food chain and its existence can't be an argument against God. Yes it can. If a god existed who wanted to make a world without needless suffering, He could have, but didn't. That does not make him all-loving since that would mean he does not love animals.
