I am A Christian, but I don't take the creation story literally, and as a result I believe in theistic revolution. However, lately I have got doubts, so I wanted to ask something here.
A important facet of Christian teaching is that humans are prone to sin, and we choose so by free will.
But without to much education on the subject, I can see some of the sinful humans tendencies being biological traits and mechanisms. Examples could be, anger, sexual desire, desire to dominate, humans being influenceable. Some of these traits seem to make sense for a amoral, evolutionary way. I would like it when somebody could enlighten me a bit if this is true.
God has been shown in the bible to be displeased with humans faults, such as the story of noah indicates, and of course Jesus's sacrifices for humans sins.
So my question is: If god hates sin so much, why did he create us like this, with this traits?Even when, existing out of time, he knew what would happen? We might be able to suppress it, but through history, humanity still causes trouble.
I haven't been able to rationalize this.I am looking for more information from a theistic evolutionary view. Are there flaws in this statement? Or does anybody agree?
I do not know where to put this, I am new, but I would like that a few people who do know more about the subject can reply.
