It is posterity, not divinity, that will ultimately judge the relative value of these achievements. Quote:

These are subjective labels used by human beings, not categorical absolutes. Without predation of live animals, entire species of food plants and animals would be devastated by overpopulation of the prey animals that ate them for survival. Personally, this mechanism is perfectly sensible to me...I would label it neither cruel nor brutal. Those are terms I tend to use to describe human intent...the acts that we inflict upon one another, or upon the other animals of this world. Quote:

What would be your idea of a perfect world? And do you believe it would align with the ideas of any other person in the world...much less all of them? In the opinion of many, the only imperfect thing about planet Earth is the presence of sentient life.
So you see that your questions aren't for any god...they're for yourself. | | | |

| | | This post isn't intended as proof. Nor as a point of debate. I've posted this before. It is what it is and thought it might prove interesting to believers as well as others as a possibility because many questions are answered. The Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing in Medjugorje what was then yugoslavia daily for 25 years and in the process leaving thousands of transcripts and answering many questions. Whether you believe them or not they are fascinating and even more so if they are real. The apparitions in medjugorje are the first apparitions in history to be throughly investigated by science. The regularity of her appearances has resulted in reliable and consistent data. For example " a team of french experts headed by Mr. Henri Joyeaux also undertook a very serious work of examination of the visionaries. Employing the most modern equipment and expertise it examined the internal reactions of the visionaries before , during and after the apparitions. " For believers it should be noted the pope paul regarded medjugorje as the center of the catholic world and has publicly stated that the reasons for his trips to poland to begin the fall of russia and the end of the cold war were the affirmations made by the Blessed Virgin Mary at fatima and medjugorje. Some of the ALLEGED comments made by the Blessed Virgin Mary include : 1] What is the best path to heaven ? - led a simple and humble life 2.} Jesus appears with her on easter sunday and christmas and stated suffering makes us better human beings 3.} on any given day more people go to hell and purgatories than go to heaven - on christmas many from purgatories ascend to heaven. I remember reading a transcript shortly after the bosian war ended. Someone asked her if the fighting was finished. She said the fighting would resume. Here was a real prophesy. If no further wars resulted what did or what were the apparitions { something is going on } ? A few years later serbia invaded kovoso { spelling incorrect ?}. It was hard to believe really. This may or may not be a window but it is interesting. | | | |

In reality god never answer that questions. According to theist religions we have to figure it out , not a easy task. | Actually, according to St. Paul, we do get a chance to know it all when we are in the presence of God.
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
--1 Corinthians 13:12

I just realized that my post sounded odd. I think everyone gets it, but I just wanted to know why we have proof of dinosaurs being in existence, but no ancient texts that talk about them? Did they exist before people? | | | |

Dinosaurs died out tens of millions of years before people. Modern humans (homo sapiens) have only been around in the last 50,000 years. Significant human impact on the world by humans goes back only 14,000 years. Oral history goes back less than 10,000 years. Written language is only about 4000 years old.
We are but a flash in the pan, so far. | | | |

In Bible-speak, does "one day" equal 10 million years or something? Hrm. | | | |
