God designed cancer and birth defects.

[Jagella]

Apologists and creationists in particular love to wow us with the amazing design of the world. We have many beautiful animals and plants to ogle. And if that isn't amazing enough, we have discovered a genetic code we call "DNA" that exists in each of the trillions of our cells. This code lays out a blueprint for what we all are--amazing, functional, and beautiful beings! Surely a god must be responsible for all this wonder because we need a designer to explain DNA.

But wait. It doesn't always work out in a good way. DNA often "malfunctions" resulting in cancer and birth defects. What kind of design is that? What monster-god would plan that babies are born without eyes and that people would suffer and die as cancer cells multiply wildly and destroy their bodies?

Question for Debate: Did the Bible god design cancer and birth defects?

What's with the attitude?

You complained about something in the details that was not the reason for the reply. The purpose of the reply was to test the validity of your response, not to test whether we're still talking about faith-based beliefs or not.

Every comment in a discussion like these doesn't have to have a clearly recognizable link up to your favorite doctrine - nonnegotiables. This was a subordinate discussion in keeping with debating the OP.

When you asked me "What's with the attitude?" were you not expecting an answer?
