Ever since I can remember I have been an avid fan of the old Looney Tunes cartoons (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et al). Since I have grown up and am now a more critical thinker, I have an all new appreciation for these cartoons (they are funny for even more reasons now). The other day I was watching through some of them and came across one that I think provides quite an interesting critique of the challenge of so much animal death in God's creation.
The Challenge:
- If God is all loving and all powerful, then he would not have created a world in which there was so much animal death and suffering.
- There is a lot of animal death and suffering.
- Therefore, God is either (or both) not all-loving and (or) all-powerful...and may not even exist.
