my RS teacher (who is a Christian) was talking about how all of gods creations are perfect and exactly like god wanted them so I asked why perfection was killing each other and cant decide what is true or false, and he said that we stopped being perfect after the fall of Adam and Eve. after he said this I countered with the fact that if something was perfect it can only do what it was built to do and not stray as that is an imperfection meaning that it was never perfect so this to me seems there are 3 three options, first god didn't or couldn't create perfection proving that he isn't omnipotent and/or omnibenevolent, second all the immorality is what god thinks is perfect or what he wanted to happen or third god didn't create us at all.
I think the third is true, if you can counter this or add please do.

I forgot to put this in but another thing is why does perfection have thing that don't help and sometimes hinder us such as the ability to negatively mutant to create a cancer.
Perfect creation. Is this a joke?
Religion was created by humans to control other humans. Humans created the gods they worship.
Really? So birth defects are perfect, as are children who live their entire lives in pain only to die tragically in their teens... Perfect right??
@Me,Myself and I: When someone tells you that the creation is perfect remind him that only a drunken jerk would create a living being by putting the latrine next to the recreation space.
You might try running the life cycle of the Loa Loa Eye Worm ...past your RS teacher...
"The larvae are first collected from an infected individual when a mango fly (horsefly) or a deer fly bites the individual, and acquires the larvae. The larvae then progress through the fly’s body, finally reaching the feeding tube. They are then transferred to a human host when the fly bites the human. The larvae may remain unnoticed for months or years before becoming an adult, mating, and producing offspring.
Adult female Loa Loa worms can reach a length of 2 1/2 inches while males are approximately half that size. Loa Loa worms can live approximately fifteen years inside their human hosts. They travel continuously through connective and deep tissue, often without the victim experiencing any sensation other than occasional itching.
It is when the worm slows or reaches a sensitive spot that a person will often feel the greatest discomfort. At this point, immune reactions may also include localized redness and a condition called “Calabar” swelling. Skin eruptions and muscle pain may be evident.
When the Loa Loa worm reaches the eye tissue, it can be easily seen and felt within the eyeball for up to an hour. It is usually removed under local anesthesia if the patient is within proximity of a qualified physician. When an adult worm dies, the surrounding tissue may abscess and require excision. Encephalitis can occur if the worm reaches the brain.
After mating, the female will deposit eggs – called microfilariae. These tiny organisms then travel in a worm-like fashion in the bloodstream during daytime hours, when potential host flies are most abundant. They congregate in the lungs at night.
A Loa Loa worm infection is rarely fatal and treatments often cause more life-threatening side effects than the actual infestation, especially if the worms are widespread. The most common treatments are DEC (diethylcarbamazine) and Ivermectin.

But then there is also this little beauty......
Onchocerciasis is caused by infection with the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted by the blackfly species. It mainly affects communities living near rivers where the blackfly live and breed. The filarial worm is transmitted through the bites of infected blackflies of the species Simulium. These flies carry the immature larval forms of the parasite and transmit it from human to human. In the human body, the larvae form nodules in the subcutaneous tissue, where they mature to adult worms. After mating, the female adult worm can release up to 1000 microfilariae a day. These move through the body, and when they die they cause a variety of conditions, including blindness, skin rashes, lesions, intense itching and skin depigmentation.
Onchocerciasis is endemic in 30 countries in Africa, Brazil, Venezuela and in Yemen; the vast majority of the infected people live in West, Central and East Africa.

Now...IF creation is perfect ....... what the hell are these little monster doing running around the world.
I enjoyed reading this exchange of comments very well written and conveyed.
