Have you thought about the fact(assuming there is a GOD) that god in all his/her/its glory/intelligence/experiance is so advanced a being that he/she/it transcends the human values we hold as being good and bad completely?

What I mean is that if there is such a being as GOD, don't you think he would have a completely different thought pattern and perspective than us, one so advanced that we wouldn't even be able to comprehend it at all. Just as how our thoughts and mental processes are dependant upon certain variables, I would think an all powerful being who has been around literally forever would be laughing at our pathetic attempts to rationalize his/her/its goals and thoughts.

The fact is that human beings are extremely illogical, unrational, weak, and undeveloped. I think we are at just the beginning of our history and have a long way to go to being advanced life forms.
Yes that would definately be the reason, but does that nature of God necessitate that he change the world? What if his good nature was compromised in destroying all evil? perhaps there is a greater good to be achieved in allowing it to run its course.

Its just as though if you and I and everyone on this board lived in a perfect world and I was God(its not perfect because of that, but for arguments sake...) and you decided to rebel against my authority. You assembled the people of the board together and conspired against me, telling all sorts of lies about my nature. Would I then prove myself true and good by destroying you?

Perhaps evil needs to run its course to show the goodness of God's nature
