Not sure where you are getting your this is acceptable and that isn’t when God creates.

Watch the clip in the OP and tell me that is compatible with a loving and wise creator God.

You wouldn’t do it that way, so God is wrong if He did?

If God is indeed the creator of all life, and created all the lovely birds and butterflies, then He is also the creator of the less appealing life forms.

I present to you the Zombie parasite who's sole purpose is to infect the brain of an ant and control it enough to have it climb a tree, whereupon a spore shoots out of its head to drop spores of its own to the gro ...[text shortened]... - Or is this just an indication that evolution, void of morality and kindness, is the true creator?

Yes. God is indeed the true creator of all life.

The zombie parasite represents the Lord's true believers such as rajk999 and kellyjay, whose sole purpose is to infect non believers such as yourself ghost with the word of the Lord. You are the feeble ant ghost, dying an agonising death in hell for your complacent unrightousness.

I asked you a straight forward question. Is the parasite who's sole existence is to take over an ant's brain compatible with a loving and wise creator God, and is this really something you think was designed by such a deity?

I would make a splendid ant.

Not knowing the ramifications if it wasn’t there don’t know.

You think the non existence of a parasite that exists only to take over the brain of an ant would have unknown ramifications for creation, that God couldn't have created a world where such a parasite wasn't required?

@Ghost-of-a-Duke said
Did an omniscient and all loving God really design such a thing?

Maybe God loves the taste of ant brains, as well as whatever satisfaction the parasites feel.

Which is not to say that God doesn't pity the ant. Maybe God also relishes the feeling of pity.

Where was the pity for the deer as the lion ate it?

Why ask me about it?

Take it to the Court of the Cosmic King, Spanky!

Apologies, didn’t notice your post after Dukes.

This was meant for you.

Why can't you simply answer the question put to you, without responding with a question of your own?

You'd be a King among Queens.

You seem to be feeling some pity for a fictional deer, so maybe that is locked and loaded for the next real-world occurrence.

Why pity the deer? Perhaps it didn't like having spindly legs and little hooves, and was a Buddhist besides who was just hoping for another spin of the wheel?

Plus, whatever spiritual or moral pains and anguishes the disincarnate might experience over tepid and lackluster aeons, it's really only the transitory incarnate who have the opportunity to experience physical pain (although I gather that most don't enjoy it).
