Preposterous

It is preposterous that an all-knowing and all-powerful; a just and loving God should create humans with a life span like the blink of an eye when compared with the infinity of the geological time span.  And a species of mammal that has been at each other's throats since time immemorial and is now committing mass ecocide.  Most responsible is that section of humanity that is most committed to burning up the delights of finite fossil fuels to live it up today and to hell with tomorrow.  A practice that gives wealth beyond imagination but also has the most unfortunate side effect of the runaway greenhouse effect to turn, possibly earth into venus.

And God knew how we would turn out but still went on to create us.  This is preposterous.

We are flawed individuals from day one.  Floored, too.  Knocked out, fair and square by our own sin but sin that was evident so soon after we were created.  And the good Lord must have known that would happen before creating us.
