god made himself, quite simply when you are an all powerful infallible being you will understand.
in·fal·li·ble
Incapable of erring: an infallible guide; an infallible source of information.
Incapable of failing; certain: an infallible antidote; an infallible rule.
If man were created by an infallable entity, man would be perfect.
Man is hardly perfect. [/b][/quote]

Man is hardly perfect.
If man were perfect. Would'nt that make us gods or atleast god-like? But even
that would be a subject for debate. If I were physically perfect? Mentally perfect?
Would that include telepathy? Complete knowledge of everything even the future?
I could go on and on but that is another topic alone.
My point is if we were perfect:
What would be our purpose?
Why live a life if we could'nt learn.
To experience things.
Would'nt everyone be the same..." P E R F E C T ".
Would we be much more than Robot"s, predictable.
Would we have personalities?
Would we all look alike?
Would we have emotions?
And why do I picture Data on 'Star Trek" right about now.
GENESIS 3 : 6
When Adam and Eve ate from "The Tree of Life" not only were they taking their
first step toward "Free Will" but the consequences for disobiedience as well.
The first 3 Chapters of Genesis are awsome. Just read it again for the first time in years.
The books of the bible were written by men. But fiction? without any outside(God)
guidiance? Just does'nt seem possible.
One conversation I had with a guy that was much more knowledgeable on the
subject than I . I said "I thought that If "God is Perfect" why does God tell someone
to do something if he already knows whether there not going to (or going to) do it in obedience". Like (for instance) God telling Adam and Eve not eat from the tree of life. Did'nt he already know what would happen?
He said: "I think God would can know what would happen but I think he sometimes chooses not to know.
( the future, that is )
