Is God ultimately responsible for the imperfections in creation ?

If you must, please proceed from the premise that such a thing actually exists, if you can.

    all true xians will answer yes. thats a great example of irreducible complexity. imperfections would not exist if god did not create the possibility for them to exist. unless satan can create.

    This assumes that the Judeo-Christian creation belief is correct. Didn´t God say also that nothing he had made was unclean. Perhaps someone could also explain why Adam and Eve were equipped with reproductive organs if it was never intended for them to use them. Isn´t that also an imperfection?

    This subject is more open to sophistry than most and ultimately it comes down to your faith, which is why it is a sterile exercise discussing it.

    Well, the bible says that He created everything in six days, not seven. This is significant because the Jewish people use the number 6 to represent imperfection. They use 1, 3, 7, and 40 to represent Godliness or perfection.

    No God is not responsible. When God greated the garden of Eden it was perfect. Eve was decieved by the serpent, and when she gave Adam the fruit to eat . Thats when sin came because Adam ate willingly. Then God cast them out of the garden of Eden. Into the imperfections of the world that was created through that sin. And out of Gods perfectly created world

    Source(s): Read the first few chapters of Genesis

    What is the definition of an imperfection?

    Maybe everything is perfect - just the way it was meant to be.

    My idea of a perfect man or woman may be different to yours.

    Your premise that imperfections exist may be wrong.

    No, God is not responsible for imperfections. If you read the creation in Genesis you will notice that after God made it is written that " He saw that it was good". The fall of man or Adam's sin is responsible for imperfection.

    Consider this, creation did not end with the Jewish book of Genesis. It is still an ongoing process. What our small minds perceive as imperfections are just things in the proses of becoming.

  • If he is real, then obviously, yes he is. Oh sure, people can say it's all our fault, or the devil's fault, or whatever, but God is supposed to be all-knowing, and therefore he must have foreseen all of that.
