the universe is too complex and life is even more complex to have sprung up randomly.
Yes, an infinite number of monkeys banging away at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite time may have a statistical possibility of writing Hamlet. But let's face it, we all know it won't happen. Same goes with creation.
Now we can argue about the purpose.
ever had an ant farm as a kid?
Whoever the creator is, He/She does not give a rats ass about the average human conditions. Humans and the universe is His/Her ant farm.
The fact that religious books were written, revised, and then revised again multiple times by groups and individuals,some of them functionally illiterate and with their own agendas, does not help alleviate the many logical fallacies incorporated into these books.
The Bible and the other religions try too hard to please a creator that can not be pleased. And that is where all the logical discombobulation comes into play.
And there IS a secret order to creation.
Creation is a game. There is a hidden order that will bend to your will if you know the secrets of the game.
You can choose to be the pawn, the spectator or the player. Following a religion blindly usually translates to you being the dumbed down Pawn with the players ( ie the church) taking you to the cleaners both mentally and financially.
As for whining about "un-healthy" foods.
What's stopping you people from farming your own back yards. Instead of planting useless deciduous trees, try growing productive fruit trees. You'll be surprised how much food can be grown inside the average sized back yard.

Quote from jprad:
My problem with the creation model is purpose. What purpose is served by building in design flaws like mortality and disease or asocial emotions like greed and jealousy not to mention extinction inducing extra-terrestrial objects?
IMHO, everything's random. It's just as likely that we're just franken-primates.
