Why Is There Good?

What do you think of the responses so far?

If evolution is the True God then we need another quick evolutionary change. We will soon need the ability to survive and thrive on eating oil spills, plastic, and other harmful substances or for God to intervene and take over the management of the earth. Either way it will a "miracle". We can argue and argue but in the end we make the choice and we will have to live with the consequences. I let everyone make their choice. But I'm like Joshua! Joshua 24:14-15 (Young's Literal Translation) 14`And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah; 15and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah -- choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; -- whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house -- we serve Jehovah.'

Evil is still in the world. Is it evolving also?

The Great Depression was not an environmental change. It was a social-economic situation. You need to refresh your knowledge as to what constitutes the environment. Your question as to why there is bad in the world contradicts your original premise and echoes the question posed by those that use it as an argument against belief. "Good - moral excellence. Evil - morally bad, harmful, wicked." You are on a rather slippery slope here. What does constitute good and evil? Is killing good or evil? Your answer, if you think it out must be conditional.

I still must ask why there is good?

I think there is good because God IS!

howdy bestboy19 Did I said that? Yeah sure, that's the sample how diversified and dynamic of our human minds. It's just pops out of the blue. If I have did that, well of course, sure others human can do that also. Now why did I said that. A community of corals or ecosystems has different kinds of so many, many different kind organisms. Some are big some are microscopic organisms. With these different kind of organisms makes the whole ecosystems as corals. Although there are different by individuals or by groups they have different roles and level of consciousness to make a coral live as one ecosystem. But these groups or individual organisms living on a one ecosystem of a coral their level of consciousness like their judgements and choosing is limited to that one place or location. Or the moments where they can dynamically flourished and diversified. In short words, in order the organisms living on or make the ecosystem of the corals must only stay that way or make the corals live in order these organisms live life, flourish and diversified. As for us human beings' individual minds is already diversified in nature, we can think anything what we want to think consciously in order to live life. We can have anything and everything what we want to be or have with just on our mind.

"...our own each individual minds and consciousness is much more diversified than those on the Coral reefs." Why is that and how did it happen?

lol. 'it just works better' ? and even more lol.. 'thats how evolution works' Another one brainwashed by the improveable science agenda. Here.. have another one. 'water runs downhill so it can loose carbs' .. /slap

No theory is "provable" The question is if it can be proved FALSE. Any attempt to prove evolution false just didn't work. What about "God" ? Can you design an experiment that if it DIDN'T work would PROVE that there is no "God" ? You have a better way of establishing a theory than by using science ? I didn't understand this water thing. Water runs downhill because that's how it's entropy rises. You know what entropy is ?

It took me awhile. I looked at your 2 links. 1. I knew of the story about the scorpion and the frog. There is a different cute ending to it. The scorpion says "What do you want ? This is the Middle East." In either case the point is that it IS the nature of the scorpion to sting. What is the relevance of this cute story to what we're talking about ? Yes there are MANY cases where co-operation DOESN'T work because one party just DOESN'T co-operate. And in THAT case it DOESN'T work. But true co-operation DOES work better. Want an example ? Look at Europe today. 100 years ago it was filled with wars. Germany started 2 world wars. Doesn't the European union work BETTER ? 2. This is an impressive compilation of a refutation of evolution. You don't expect me to go over all the points here do you ? I can see anyway how YOU have been brainwashed. Let me ask just 3 questions out of thousands that I could ask you: a. Do you doubt the validity of carbon testing to show the age of an artifact ? b. Are you completely unaware of the genetic engineering that is going on to enhance plant and animal development ? Don't you realize that the chickens of today produce many more eggs than in previous years, that they grow bigger and quicker than before ? This is present day PROOF of evolution. 3. Do you deny the existence at one period of time of dinasours ? If not, did they exist the same time that man existed ?

Some of the responses have been questionable. I'm not sure how good can evolve.

Agreed. I can't see where good OR evil are evolutionary outcomes. They're both in this world and both have been as far back as we can know. I suspect they'll both be with us until the very end.

Thank you for responding.

Thank you for understanding and answering the question.
