-Removed-I've other things going on in life, so may, at times, be slow to reply.
If it is to be believed, then God created the Earth etc., and Adam and Eve. So God was like a parent, and Adam and Eve the kids, and frankly God was a bit of an absent Father at best.
Every parent has a responsibility to set their kids up for the future, as best they can, therefore created a fully functioning omnivore type of offspring.
So God created his kids, just as we do, though maybe a little more magically, and then gives them the basics, and sets them on their way.
He then leaves them all alone to make their own decisions. To prove they have free will, He let's them choose whether to eat from the free, but says He'll cut them off if they do. Just like us telling our kids we would cut them off if they take drugs, or get drunk, or whatever hang up the parents have. And it wasn't a bluff.
So no, God created man, gave them a chance to choose their own path etc. So not predetermined, total free will, and sin in based on each person's own morality, so nowt to do with God, but all down to the individual.
Just my thoughts.
-Removed-This is likely to go down badly here, but the Bible isn't fact. It is a collection of folk more, stories passed down through the generations prior to written communication and then brought into book form over centuries, with different authors all of their own agendas.
I'm not discounting the concept of a higher being, or higher purpose, but the stories themselves are likely to be highly inaccurate.
I'm not going to go into a debate to just read from someone else's opinion and pass that off as my own. The Bible was not contemporaneously written, and no evidence of its factual nature would seem to exist.
I'm not here to say that Christians, or Muslims, or Buddhists are wrong, nor will I disagree with everything that an atheist may write, but I will include my own opinions and that is all anyone in a debate should do.
Own thought, own beliefs, honestly given.
I'm on a phone, so trying to remember your points.
The only one I can remember that may not be replied to above is on why God would create Man as omnivorous. Being omnivorous does not, in any way, mean that we must kill. In fact, to me, it shows the complete opposite. We have the capacity to eat meat or plants etc. Meat does not have to have been killed by man, accidents happen to animals and being able to not waste the meat is a great survival technique.
I'm new to this forum, so when an ignoramus calls me out for not replying instantly I tried to explain politely that I was busy, but hey ho.
