[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5125383, member: 37461"] The belief in "a" god and scientifically evidence isn't mutually exclusive. Humans I find your explanation authentic but disjointed. Mankind harms themselves everyday, and in every way, he separated himself from God's glory. Man's dominion comes from the grace of God, not the other way around. Other forms of life in this world have every right to their own existence as does man. God didn't created the heavens and earth only to have it cut into tradable parts so we could stand higher or lower depending on what we value in the present tense. We have so much to learn and we begin this education from a place of such limited ability. I don't believe in a biblical God. I believe God is an analogy, a metaphor, a simile, a reflection which we used to fill in what we can't immediately understand or prove. Mankind's short life span demands finality in the objects he desires. In so being, he demands Gods will have finite causes. But, what if there isn't a finite cause or a finite philosophy of good or evil? What if God exist in our every thought that we have, and to create within it every conceivable good or harm, and leave it to us to choose which one we will follow. It's not a judgement, then, on whether good or evil is better or worse, it's a judgment on what effects those choices have on others. It's in this sense of unity, within all souls, which a visceral understanding of our choices have, just don't affect us, but everyone and everything around us. It's not about choosing good or evil for ourselves but choosing good and evil for those that we love and desires to protect against harm. Evil, then, is the separation from this common good, and God's will, God's love, and the selflessness it inspires, the sacrifice for those yet born, to the great oneness of which all things emnitate from, which of course, is God's greatest metaphor.
