Because God IS so powerful.

Can you make something which has enough incentive, choice, volition and emotion to love, destroy itself, build or create.

[/QUOTE]That's beside the point Goz. Stick to what we were discussing. You said "If God is so powerful, why this...." and I answered, "Because God IS so powerful." You can't just shift ground like that. The existence of war and poverty are not 'proof' that there is a God in my theological view. In actual fact it serves to illuminate how ingenious and creative he is, and how courageous he's been in givving us so much liberty, choice and free will.
