No. They haven’t for decades and it shows.

Indeed all sorts of things are off… I have to assume that ferrets are at least as much fun as cats… And then to claim the cats and dogs (and most other animals) are on the same line of effort vs fun?

Cats are waay less effort than dogs, do you have to walk your cat every day? No.

You feed cats, let them in and out to poop, what else is there to do?

Dogs, dogs are great, but they’re needy, they want constant attention, know how to whine, bark, beg, eat lots more. Dogs are waay more effort than cats.

This chart should be titled “Chart with multiple things wrong with it”… Then to claim it’s official on top of all this.

You’re assuming that the creation of suffering is evil when God does it - however it could be that if heaven exists as a place in the future where everyone’s all good with what happened…

…then it might not be evil when God does it, it might only be evil when humans do it (because we’re not capable of doing it in a way that’s consciously creating heaven (where everyones okay with what happened) as a result… We can’t arrange souls like God can. We can’t live or operate outside of, or beyond time like God can.

…also, not that anyone asked, but personally - I’m an atheist. I’m just seeing how far these arguments can go with provisos like heaven, God as a time lord, and souls/at-birth soul agreements.

Oh, also God can patch up or fix up, or factor in suffering humans create, because being able to predict that something is going to happen isn’t the same as causing it. Eg. I know the sun is going to rise each day up until an expected sun-death… Even if humanity creates the ability to make the sun rise, it doesn’t mean the sun is currently controlled by us. Yet it’s still predictable.

I don’t think it’s that God couldn’t create a universe without evil, it’s just there’s a process for making us good AND retaining our freewill.

So he’s letting us help to create a universe without evil…

Evil is necessary in this process, but evil is really just God “occluded” - Satan is in this sense working for and with God in this process of teaching humans about good, hence the line “God works in mysterious ways”… We don’t know the process, which is why it’s faith-based.

It’s like yes, your parents could give you a lifetime of pocket money all at once, but they’re not going to because you have to learn patience, self-discipline, and saving up for the things you want (or can afford). You have to make choices in that process to learn about those things.

Humans are temporal… God is not.

So for God, God created a world without evil in which humans have freewill… It’s already been done, instantly for God.

But we don’t live on the same temporal plain.

Claiming God can’t do it, is like being the kid asking for ALL the pocket money at once. Parents could do that, but they’re letting time and your own temptation teach you the lessons.

That’s part of the mysterious ways. But in faith, outside of time, and with the right beliefs and choices, a world without evil where people in your life still have freewill already exists… It’s up to you to live there in it, in time.

…and you may end up living there anyways.
