Wouldn't God Want His Earth to Stay Pure and Green?

Yes

VS.

No

Side Score: 7

If you believe the Bible, then God placed Mankind in charge of all of this world. It was given to humanity to maintain. People were charged with taking care of it and all that is within it. However, God knows human fallibility and tossed humans out of the perfect Garden of Eden. God does not expect people to be perfect nor keep this world a perfect garden. The choice people face is to attempt to restore the world to the perfect balance or continue to move further away from that ideal.

Not exactly, the Earth wasn't created green, and it's changed from green to brown to white to red many times. it seems God (if he's paying attention to the Earth) has made it natural for the Earth to change its colors countlessly.

Good point. Hadn't thought about the long term. Or that He might not even care.

Side: No

If God is willing to to keep his Earth pure and green, but is not able, then He is not omnipotent.

If He is able, but not willing, then He is malevolent.

If He is able and willing, then whence come evil?

If He is neither able nor willing, then why call him God?

You make a logical argument challenging God's existence. That said, assuming His existence and that He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, what is your answer?

Side: yes
