Re: Positive Evidence
An omnipotent designer should however be able to design an ecosystem that does not rely on the sort of suffering and brutality that parasitic organisms result in.

no. an omnipotent designer can do whatever he likes. an omnibenevolent densigner should be able to design an ecosystem that does not rely on the sort of suffering and brutality that parasitic organisms result in.
​

Re: Positive Evidence
ha! true indeed. i guess what i was getting at was that there's no reason for an omnipotent designer to avoid brutality and pain just because we think it's nasty.

Re: Positive Evidence
As I understand it that designer is meant to be both omnipotent and benevolent.

depends on what part of the bible you read, and i'm not wholly sure myself.
