Re: [asa] Neo-Darwinism and God's action

I have noted that everything we don't like is condemned as somehow
reflecting negatively on the Creator. But please explain to me how a
planet without death could be anything but static. Also, we now have many
diagnostic tools, though we don't always use them well. But how would
beings before the time of modern medicine know about potential
threatening matters without pain? If I am free to climb a tree, I may
fall, with negative consequences. Should God guarantee that I come to no
harm? restrict freedom?

I purposely avoided the term "evil". And even though I know that our

cancer, dementia, etc. requires some theological work to make
Christianity intellectually rigorous.
