What are these "God given abilities "
Previously you said "we" were offered them. Now you say "we" have them
WHAT are they??
I have NOT been offered the chance to eradicate all suffering. Have you?
If you have..why haven't you done so ?
When was humankind as a whole offered this...
Not hard to imagine once you start being a little more honest about things.
It's Scientists who make slow and hard won progress. Not God thingy
God thingy is said to have made new life form appear from dust :D That seems to be the information from the less scrupulous on these threads
It is NOT within nor "within" - man's, women's or humankind's ability to eradicate MOST suffering. There are many extant forms of suffering from many different causes.

life/matter, etc.. So where do you get that from? Create yourself a false accusation then argue against it. The theistics' irresistible attraction to strawman argument.
Do you set up that and other...

Just how is life fundamentally different ????. Apparently it is not.
Then you didn't check properly:p
It's the fourth post on the link page.
Is that indicative of the standard of checking which is required, in order for you to accommodate your "beliefs" ?

Your intolerance to anyone with a view not in support of the christian dogma is evident throughout your posts. This suggest to me that you are constantly affronted by anything which interrogates the christian, or religious faith in general.
Your obvious one sided bias is blatantly clear in...
Please show me where I suggested any such thing.
That just sounds to me like an excuse for the christian's demand to .... Do As I Say and Not As I Do.
That may be your belief, but you have provided no substantial or reasonable evidence to me that any of it is actually the case.
