So, this is a quote from a email I sent a while ago, because it occurs to me that I probably want to be able to just post a link to this article whenever people talking about praying for God to end cancer.<\/p>\n
Cancer is actually part of how we know there probably isn’t a God – or if there is, said deity chose to use evolution to create us rather than using a design process.<\/p>\n
It would have been fairly easy, when designing us, to include a CRC-32 on the DNA copying routine to prevent mutations after birth. This would have virtually eliminated cancer, but wasn’t done. Now, evolution would not find this very quickly at all, because a checksum is actually *against* the mutation process during birth that drives evolution. But intelligent design just *naturally* adds validation on copy, and then some, and then some more – especially intelligent design that has been exposed to *this* universe. <\/p>\n
From this I can conclude one of the following is true:<\/p>\n
A: God doesn’t know about cyclic redundancy checks i.e. doesn’t know everything – or even as much about IT as we do.
\nB: God isn’t all-powerful.
\nC: God doesn’t care about massive amounts of suffering
\nD: God is trying to keep a *very* low profile i.e not do anything that might risk revealing that there is a God
\nE: God doesn’t exist
\nF: God exists, but isn’t aware of us
\nG: God exists, and is aware of us, but doesn’t care about our suffering, or does not understand suffering at all
\nH: God exists and is evil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
