Why God didn't make the body perfect? (creation, suicide, diseases)

I did not say there was "a need" for God to have created our blueprint .
I said that he Did.

I do not believe in a young world, but neither do I believe in a universe with out God.
This might be a problem in your understanding of things, but not for me.
The difference is Faith.

No , I'm saying that " prefection " is boring . I would assume that the Creator is beyond human concepts and would not be limited by them .

God is not perfect , He is greater then that !

Sorry, i was just asking 'cause I'm interested in people's beliefs, and why they believe them. I've spent too much time on here just to try and disprove God, and now i wanna learn about other people's beliefs.

You cannot get more, or greater, than perfection. If you think it is possible, please explain.

Sure... God created perfection. As the creator, he is obviously greater than perfection itself.

thus proving that what he created wasn't perfect.

You would be surprised about how many disabled people consider their bodies "perfect" as they are.

I am fine with my deafness and other physical disabilities (I could do without so much pain, though). The only problems I ever run into are lack of public accomodations for the disabled and negative opinions of the disabled and disablities.

Don't assume.

A very good point Jamaesi! I guess that it is the imperfections that makes us such individuals. Can you imagine a world full of perfect looking humans ?

And for those who are'nt 'perfect'; they often have strengths that others don't. Life is a learning curve of experiences. The more individual we are, the greater the range of experiences.

Nope... just proving that you are biased to what YOUR CONCEPT of perfection is. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder so to speak. You look for physical perfection, and I look for spiritual perfection. Either way, both of us are prejudiced as to what that perfection "is", and probably neither of us is right. (Well, I know you're not, but I still may be! )

lol, perfection is still relative to itself. Once something is more perfect than something else, the something else becomes in some way flawed and thus not perfect. Unless two things are unrelated. A perfect knife and a perfect ED medication will look and act nothing alike. Wives will not appeciate men trying to swallow knives in order to improve their performance in the bedroom.
