Intelligent Evil

[joeactor]

Quote from the article:

Dr. Ralph D. Winter, who recently died at the age of 84, had argued that all violent forms of life â€" including all disease pathogens â€" are the works of an “intelligent evil power” that seeks to destroy God’s creation.

To me, this not only shows a gross lack of knowledge of evolution, but of biology in general.
Organisms, microscopic and macroscopic, are not inherently "good" or "evil".
Is a lion evil when it kills to feed it's young?
Is a cow good because it only eats grass?
What about the grass?

I wouldn't mind hearing from some people who ascribe to this... if there are any on the forum.

I read the article. They used a word I hadn't read before. missiology. It means mission science.

I cannot imagine any form of life more violent (sic) than us human beings.

Does that mean we are the work of an "intelligent evil power" too?
Does it mean that god (or whatever) is "evil"?

uu uh...

Basic biology FAIL

Couldn't agree more.

Yes...but you can't tell anyone; it's a big secret.
