Q4 – “God must have a nasty mentality if he could only create nature where species eat each other. Is it a godly way? Could he not come up with a better answer? Nice God!!! Where are you!!! Wake up!”
There’s a couple of questions in that one. I’ve tried to narrow it down to these questions:- the first question is ‘Why do species eat each other?’ In the first book of the Bible we are presented with a description of animals starting to eat each other after what is called the world-wide flood.

One is ‘Is God able to hear us?’ The other is ‘Is God willing to hear us?’ For the former, we don’t have the time to go into depth about the theology of God’s existence and creation. But I’d like to quickly say that it seems clear…
