I don't know, maybe I am not making sense. Is there any way that the world can be imperfect if god is good?
The cheesy line perfection within imperfection comes to mind.
Based on the assumption that the world is a place for learning, and that learning is good. It makes perfect sense how the world is perfect with it's flaws.
It's the reason I started this topic.
Someone argued that God could have created a world where people could learn without suffering. I was wondering if this is logically feasible given what we know about free will.
Here's something I've been pondering about.
Theoretically had we not known about evil, and the ability to cause harm etc. Had God created this world originally, would it really have been considered as partially removing our free will?
The only reason we feel that it is infringing on free will now, is because we have experienced the ability to cause harm. It's difficult to imagine a world where humans aren't capable of doing harm but still have free will.
But is it impossible? Hence the reference to the rock.
