I had a few major operations on my left knee due to a football injury. Both my anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments were ruptured, the anterior was replaced with a graft from my pateller tendon and the posterior was replaced by a graft from a corpse. The surgeon told me that the 'new' cruciate ligaments are 30% stronger that the original ones. What I want to know is why God didnt make the cruciate ligaments out of the stronger stuff in the first place? The knee feels as good as new so I dont see the problem for ths big guy in the sky.

Hi, PE
The world was perfect in the ID standpoint, about 6000 years ago before the fall of man. You do not know what you are talking about.
Your evidence that this was the case?
Man was also perfect, Adam, Eve. Well almost perfect, they did sin.
So you agree then that mankind was not created perfect?
'Almost' perfect is not the same as perfect, why do you think God created an imperfect human and then was miffed because that human made a mistake?
A quote from Gene Roddenberry sums the situation up perfectly:
"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing, all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes."
