      People born with genetic disorders?

      Just a quick query. I know some Christian believe in evolution while some don't, but i think the question can apply to both groups( i assume all Christian at least agree with the fact Genes and DNA exist.)

      God made mankind himself, so i guess you could say he made our genetic code. I always assumed it was believed God made us perfect, at least psychically anyway. However as we all know many children are born with genetic disorders( Down syndrome, Huntington's disease, Klinefelter's syndrome etc) or other birth defects/problems( Harlequin-type ichthyosis, Premature Senility, etc). Why is it that there are so many imperfections that can come about? Is it that God intended for some kind of natural selection( they would die without intervention), is it that an imperfect DNA replication process is some kind of punishment for sin? Or is it that God intentionally made us biologically imperfect and susceptible to a wide range of, to it bluntly, pretty terrible conditions, even from birth( when we are pure and really harbor no sins" ultimate sin".. annoys me).

      Basically can someone explain, in terms of God/religion, why we have an imperfect creation system( reproduction) and so why get genetic disorders and the like..

      ( sorry if this sounds confusing)

      So we should actually kill them right away to speed up God's intentions?

      yep that was Hitlers idea, anyone with a heredity illness was to be sterilized or anyone suffering from a disability or genetic disorder etc( although it wasn't called genetic disorder in those days). Hitler was 100% natural selection, maybe he didn't lie when he said it was Gods will for his plans to succeed.


      Anyway this is getting off-topic already, can anyone with a more religious answer?

      There is no answer, and if anybody tries, it will be a halfarsed made up shitty answer that makes no sense when you think about it, and that's exactly what you're trying to get people to do, so that you can bash and nitpick them, and you know it.

      Now, lock this crappy thread, before a shitstorm of people who knows nothing about anything crawls out of the holes in the wall.

      very well, although actually since we did biology today i was generally interested in the way religious people view it. But very well!!

      MARVO SAYS THREAD LOCKED, BY HIS LOGIC LOCKED IT SHALL BE!!

      Maybe someone religious could like, pm me or something with an answer.

      Certainly, religious people can give you their individual view, but there's no answer for each religion, since most of todays religions spawned way before genetics were discovered.

      Once again I'll have to say though, that nobody can provide you with a good answer, since no matter how hard they try, what they say will contradict something in their religious writings.

      Bottomline: Genetics are not covered in any of the religions, and thus a good answer is not possible, unless people start interpretting what they read in a different way, and thus make it an individual answer.

      The religious answer is that people are meant to suffer...something about without suffering there couldn't be enjoyment, or to make us appreciate things or something along those lines. Or something like we are meant to learn from people who face adversity or something, basically the answer is to teach us a lesson.

      The answer to your question will be easily answered if you change it to what you really mean which is "why is there suffering." And don't worry, religious people will fill you in with their version of why. Or their religious leaders version of why.

      People are born with genetic defects because that's nature. Why should humans be exempt from that when plants and animals suffer from it, they may have even chosen to be disabled. Should disabled people be executed? No. Why? because unlike other animals we can do something about it. If a cheetah is born with no legs then it will die because the mother can't do anything about it, but if a human is born without legs we can care for it and it won't die.

      Then nature doesn't sound like its designed by an allpowerful allgood being.

      On that note there is no evidence or even a slight reason to evn consider the possibility of a divine or a group of divine entities.

      Ah yes i know but in his early days, before he just said " hell with it all non-aryans die", his main idea was to firstly eliminate genetic disorders and other heredity diseases( i think to him homosexuality feel into that category)

      Why is this more likely or even plausible at all than the obvious proved fact that they have various physical mutations and problems in development.
