But I'm not trying to moralise natural behaviour. I think that nature is fundamentally non-moral, and morality is a human concept.
The point I'm trying to make is this: IF nature was set up by a moral agent (god, hypothetically) AND nature contains much suffering (easily witnessed) THEN that moral agent is responsible for the suffering. And then, since this is the old problem of evil, I point out that you can't blame it all on free will for humans, because a lot of it is nothing to do with humans. Suffering isn't going to teach an antelope a moral lesson, or lead it to jebus... johntheapostate, I have another problem for your list. So how come Abel was god's good boy for being a shepherd, and making an animal sacrifice, killing lambs? He certainly predated Noah. |
