[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 4652542, member: 555320"] Depends on what you consider "sins". I don't know that littering or pollution is a "sin", but it's certainly tarnished the planet as well. Regardless, sin certainly hasn't reorganized the universe. Sure, it's beautiful. But so is a painting. And depending on your love affair with art, one could potentially argue that an artist's hand is capable of more beauty than we've witnessed from god's [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Waterfalls, mountains and beaches are certainly a fun get-a-way for our species....but you also have to remember that the travelings of 99.999999% of the human race is completely limited to within this planet. What else are we supposed to do? We are making the best with what we currently have. Commercial space flight is going to be coming soon for the elite.....waterfalls, mountains and beaches are going to be taking a back seat in the arena of awe-inspiring destinations. Also, those features are not [I]limited to[/I] our planet. We do not, for example, have the tallest mountain in the solar system. We're his favored creation.....yet he couldn't even give us the tallest f[COLOR=Black]u[/COLOR]cking mountain !? Debatable. I'd venture to say that a black hole is rather amazing and complex, for example. The Big Bang and ensuing inflation was rather amazing and complex. And we've barely began discovering other worlds that exist outside of our solar system. Those could be far more amazing and complex than our planet. That and you sort of missed the point. For centuries it was thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. The sun and all other planets orbited the Earth. Why? Well, where else would God place his favored species? It was only logical (for the time) to think that there was no other place a species or world as important as ours (in god's eyes) would be located. We are the most important, thus we must certainly be the center of everything. But, as it turns out......we're not. If we are his special creation....why [I]aren't[/I] we the center of the universe? Why [I]aren't[/I] we the only planet? Why doesn't the sun and planets orbit [I]us[/I]? If we are so special to the supreme being, the creator of all things......why is our place in the universe so uninspired, random and mundane? [/QUOTE]
