Has anyone considered how odd it is that humans can detect poisons by means of smell and taste and even visual cues? Given that we were supposedly created for a perfect world, there should be no need for us to be able to detect toxic substances in what should be wholesome food plants. Yet we have the innate ability to detect many hazardous substances.

Do you know how neurologically sophisticated these detection and warning systems are? So, why do we have them, and how did we get them. YEC's tell us that Adam and Eve were perfect, and that humanity has 'devolved,' become simpler and more primitive and less fit ever since.

So how did these sophisticated physical systems and abilities arise? And if they were present in Adam and Eve, then were there poisonous plants in 'paradise.' If so, then what does that say about God's plan for life, the universe and everything? (Thank you Douglas Adams)

The fact that many "believers" die from diseases, poisons and illnesses is proof that they are not True Christians.

Hmmmm. Yeeesss. The best Christians can be difficult to kill.

Perhaps you will find the following suggestions helpful.

No. 22 worked well for Christians against Witches during the sixteenth century, and
No. 73 worked well for Christians against Jews during the twentieth century.

quote:
#22. "Throw the suspected Christians in a lake. If they sink to the bottom and stay there, they are innocent. The ones who float to the top and cry out, are guilty. They may be immolated, and burned."

*******

#73. "Persons suspected of being Christian may be given cyanide (an evil spirit). The ones who do not die are true Christians. They may be strangled, immolated and burned." Inquisition for Dummies, Vol. 1.

May God have mercy on your soul.
