| Aug 23, 2019 at 20:56 | comment | added | ventsyv | This is very intellectually dishonest answer because it equates humans and animals. We have higher intelligence and thus are held to a higher standard. Also, we have developed a technical civilization - our impart is much bigger / faster than that of any specie. | |

| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:11 | comment | added | Geronimo | Also, have you considered that, in the case of our world, Man and it's technology are part of a plan? Gaia must reproduce, and to reproduce it must send it's spores, the nuclear pulse ships, to other worlds. The ecological damage is the birth pangs. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:09 | comment | added | Geronimo | If your god doesn't create species just to kill them off there is no natural selection because natural selection IS species being killed off. Without natural selection, how does diseases work? Antibiotics will be always super effective? Penincilin and Tetracycline will work forever? | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 7:28 | comment | added | Alexander | @Cort Ammon The god does not have any particular plan. However, he does not want the world to be messed up substantially. How much is "substantially"? Good question. I will update the question a bit later. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 5:09 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Alexander Then I think you have your answer: If the only conditions that are acceptable to your God are the conditions he created, then any conditions we create must, by necessity, be damaging. That is, of course, unless the acts of humans are part of the God's plans, in which case they are, by definition, not damaging. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 4:16 | comment | added | Alexander | @Shadowzee no, the god didn't create any species just to kill them off. Whether or not he planted any fake evidence - I don't know. Maybe he did, because he seems to have a sense of humor. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 2:19 | comment | added | Shadowzee | @Alexander Did your god create the dinosaurs then bury them to create oil for your humans? Or did God just put the oil there and leave fake evidence of dinosaurs for humans to find? I'm just Curious if your God is okay killing off an entire species, or planting fake evidence or no reason. | |
| Aug 22, 2019 at 23:28 | comment | added | Alexander | Thank you for your answer. This god, however, has an opinionated view on ecology. When he created a planet, it had a certain variety of species and certain environmental conditions. Deviating too much from it is a no-no, and he is very much looking into preservation of those conditions. | |
