I believe it's just evolution taking its normal course, creating a few new species, even as existing ones die off and become extinct. But perhaps it is, in fact, a supreme being just tossing us some new sources of misery. That seems to me to imply a rather hostile god. Maybe he's not quite omnipotent, and he's trying really hard to kill us all off, and just hasn't succeeded yet. That certainly makes him a bio-terrorist, and way worse than bin Laden.
Although there is no proof that Bin Laden is a terrorist, and there has been no solid link in saying that he actually aided in 9/11. But of course, this is all beyond the topic.

I would agree with you on the god issue, though. If there is a god, he obviously is either just fucking with us and causing chaos... or he isn't completely omnipotent and can't actually do much. I would suggest that he/she/it is a hostile god/goddess as well.
mfqr Reviewed by mfqr on . A path to faith with science Some people don't think that faith and science are compatible. This is to demonstrate that is not the case and that science plays a part in helping to confirm God's existence and reveal his divine nature. This is to demonstrate one path to God. There is contained within both evidence for God's existence and attributes from the nature of the physical universe, and also evidence from direct communication from God and mankind. Finding out whether God exists or not is not just for philosophers Rating: 5
