Is free will to blame for tragedy, or is God?

[Oxymouse]

God knew what would happen when he gave away free will. God is all powerful. God wants us to have free will. By giving free will to humans, suffering ensued. Therefore God is the root of suffering and wants suffering.

GREEEEEEEEEEEN

God isn't a human.

End of story.

In his image, etc etc.

And why do we assume that "in his image" means an exact replica?

I think by that, it means something else. What, I don't know, but not what people assume.

I believe God gave us evolutionary properties, to adapt to an ever changing world. Ergo, the way we look today, is not the way we looked then (Neanderthals).

The way the bible is written though says that we were created then exactly as we are now.

"No, it says He created Adam as He was. Who's to say we, now, are exactly like Adam then?"

So you're saying we EVOLVED from Adam? A laughable claim. The church doesn't admit to the possibility of evolution. Aliens yes, but not evolution.

Also, not the difference between "created man in His image" and "created a man in his image".

"The Church" is not an infallible source of information on God. They can, and probably are, wrong on many aspects that they preach.

The bible never once says anything that goes against the possibility of evolution.

Sorry, that was just brutal sarcasm. xd
