I agree ' thinking about hunger /poverty' won't make it go away.
That to me is one reason Jesus gave us the illustrative story about the neighborly good Samaritan.
One by one we are to widen out, broaden out, in showing practical love to a person in distress.
When Jesus 'fed and healed' people that was showing on a small scale of grand-scale blessings coming.
Jesus was giving us a preview, or coming attraction of what he will do earth wide during his 1,000-year rule over Earth.
In order for earth's nations to hear or learn about this healing is a reason why Jesus put preaching and teaching first in his life, and he wants his followers to do the same thing - Luke 4:43; Matthew 24:14; 28:18-20; Acts 1:8.
Other scientific people also became Christians. Christian or not, No one can solve mankind's problems.
This is why we are all invited to pray the invitation of Rev. 22:20 for Jesus to come !
Notice the coming action Jesus will take for oppressed humanity as per Psalms 72:8; Psalms 72:12-14.

Yet the profit motive beats the prophet motive every day.

I really dont know why you keep firing verse numbers at me, they are meaningless. Could you not use your own thoights and words instead?.

Sin is a personal/religious idea and means nothing other people.

Everyone dies, it it part of your DNA

Are you saying that you have never been angry at something?

Unfortunately for bible believers, economics does not work like that. It is the confident risk takers who have inherited the earth and the humble and meek are subservient to them.
If there were no sin on the earth or within us (I know it's a difficult concept for you to realize), there would be no anger. But there is righteous anger now, such as what Jesus exercised when he threw the money-changers out of the temple in Jerusalem. And Christians are told to put away anger such as what people in general typify. HE was the only-begotten son of God and made a true statement when he pushed the money-changers out of the temple in Jerusalem. He was not popular with the money-changers at that point on.
Just a quick glance at TV programs shows that people are belligerently working out their anger all the time. In real life (unfortunately) or in dramatic shows. Few parents really teach their children to control themselves in many different situations. I am convinced for this reason (along with proliferation of drugs), many people do not have a hold on their anger, which is one reason why we see so many senseless crimes today. But that is, of course, my opinion and probably not yours.
And yes, inborn sin inherited from Adam and Eve is a situational problem. I won't even go into the experiements the Chinese are doing on monkeys now to change the dna. Sad and not even too interesting for me because it's so sad, but the scientists think it could mitigate depression among humans, so they don't mind torturing a few monkeys in their striving for a change of mental condition.

For profit motives, many people have been killed or hurt, either purposely directly, or indirectly. (Such as war and as we see in the government "shutdown" here in the U.S.) For instance, one family has a child on life support, but because of no paycheck coming in they fear their baby will die if their electricity is turned off. That is a case of indirect murder if that happens.

And -- it's no wonder that people are anxious, depressed, and on "medication" to alleviate these symptoms.

A sin thing is only applicable to god believers and certainly in civilised countries no one is criminalised for committing a sin

In reality adam and eve lived about 100,000 years apart. Mdna eve, and y chromosome adam. DNA does not lie

And in human terms it is rational and moral behaviour.
From what I see, there is some outrage among scientists on ethical basis about the experimenting with monkey dna. These scientists are speaking of moral and ethical issues. They are hoping somehow for a worldwide agreement among countries. :) I smile because you and I probably both know that ain't never gonna happen. And why is that? Because they don't agree on what is moral or ethical.

Doesn't work like that, sin is a religious concept, angernis an emotion.

Interesting, us prison inmates comprise more christians than the population average and less atheist. So is it that the problem is christianity and not drugs/bad parenting?

Adam and eve lived around 100,000 years apart so biblical genetics have little to do with the situation.

I have a relative with a severe mental illness and despite that i find experiments on animals to be immoral, obnoxious and revolting.

Scientifically it can happen, it has happened, international cooperation is common. The brakes are put on by government and religious differences.

That's your concept. In evolution, of course, I suppose there IS no sin, even though people figure they can change the course of evolution, killing people, disease, etc., by changing dna. :) And hope you have a nice day.

Uh huh. Well, let's see who breaks the rules once they come up with an "agreement" so as not to torture the poor little monkeys. Meanwhile, more people than ever are dying because they want to escape or feel good with opioids, is that it? And no wall, no government on earth set up by man is EVER GOING TO STOP IT.

Yeah, Adam & Eve lived 100,000 years apart? ????? Where you get that idea? You find experiments on animals to be immoral, obnoxious and revolting, so does the Bible say that, too. I'm not a vegetarian, but when God may tell HIS people to stop killing animals for food, I'll go along with that.

Um...you don't think emotions are tied up with evolution?????? You think maybe they just appeared by themselves. And I agree that false religion is a great concern, deceiving people, mixing them up, just like Satan did with Eve, and God is going to put an end to that, too. That's what the Bible calls Babylon the Great, false religion.

Whatever feeds good to you. Still scientific international cooperation exists

And another straw man. I am not even trying to wind you up but it seems i dont need to try.

Here is what I discern (detect) from your response to my statement. I said, "That's your concept. In evolution, of course, I suppose there IS no sin, even though people figure they can change the course of evolution, killing people, disease, etc., by changing dna. :) And hope you have a nice day."
So is it that you believe (? if that's the right word) eventually humans can change the course of evolution, which includes now the killing of others, entails disease & sicknesses,by changing dna.

Just saying the obvious to you. LOL, scientific cooperation exists, which is why populations kill other populations. Right? :) No need to wind me up, since I'm telling the truth, lol.

So what testimony (scientific, of course) says that Eve emerged (?) thousands of years after Adam? You said it, so where are you getting your information about dna in that form from?

Dont talk bs, do you want a list of wars throughout history in which almost a billion people have been killed where one side or both were fighting to impose there religious faith on the other?

Now show me any war that has been fought for scientific cooperation.

I am not trying to wind you up but you are showing your anxiety in your posts.
