Why would God make super-specialized organisms?

[Lagmonster]

It doesn't explain his laziness, however. If it's so easy for him, then why is he so spectacularly uncreative when designing normal organisms? Why is it so important for him to copy 99% of any given organism for use in the next related one? Why would his almost all of designs look exactly like cumulative minor modifications, when he can apparently just cobble up completely new unrelated species from scratch for no reason?

Maybe he finds making these "irrelevant" biomes more interesting than making lots of different mammals, fish, plants etc.

Sure, which only begs the question of why he made none of them except in places where evolution theory would just coincidentally happen to predict them.

Of course, you're smart enough to ask all these questions, because it occurs to you to ask questions. A fundie is admonished to NEVER ask questions, and to not develop the kind of curiosity that would lead them to delve into explanations for natural phenomena in the first place. Asking what their answer is to logical questions that arise from observation requires one to give them a different mindset to begin with; one that is not programmed to reflexively say "god" every time they don't know otherwise.

(From here: http://www.worthychristianforums.com/Go ... 11431.html. I hate everyone there so much. I only posted this afternoon, so the thread could get more replies.)

This, to me, reinforces what I was thinking. They don't have answers; They have excuses for not answering the question.

Yes! They agree with me that god is some shitty unimaginative artist whose most unique creations are pretty much ocean-dwelling worms that eat heated minerals and crap!

Don't forget the eyeball-eating worms, Shroomy, truly a testament of GOD's magnificence in creating such a horrifying creature. I wonder if these types consider the Ebola virus another part of GOD's artistic expression, must be his abstract-deconstructionist period.

Reading through that site really unsettled me, as I've been insulating myself from a lot of creationist lunacy the last few years. That's why I get for not keeping my tolerance up, I guess.

I'm amazed that it still boggles me at the depths people will go to in order to keep their critical thinking ability turned off.

You probably haven't even read the thread where their response to "will God forgive me for sexually abusing my younger siblings?" was not, as one would expect, "turn yourself into the police" but was instead "God will forgive you but you have to forgive yourself first."

There is a good reason that I hate those people.

Too bad Snopes said that internet picture of a woman's infested titties turned into a hive by wasp larva turned out to be photoshopped, since now that would've been creative on God's part.

Come on, in-character God always does shit like drown people, or test them by murdering all their children and family and livestock in their sleep to find out how much they love him (like in Job), or sending bears to kill children who laugh at priests all the time. Really, stuff like eye-eating worms or catfish that swim up people's penis pissholes or fly larva that hatch in human flesh are practically what one should expect when talking about God's creations.

For all we know, God's probably menstruating over the fact that we eradicated smallpox.

Come on, if I were God I'd totally make some creature that would bleed breasts and cunt-eyes and shit. For all we know, H.R. Giger was totally divinely inspired to come up with the idea of acid-blooded monstrosities that'd stick their organs in your face to lay eggs inside you that'd hatch and have monsterlings explode out of your ribcage.

EDIT:

Jesus Christ. If we go with thinking that God is a complete and utter omni-asshole, it all makes sense! The reason why he made his creations look like they "evolved" "scientifically" and stuff is precisely to make smart people think that there is no god and that natural processes created the universe and shit. Why? So God can watch his followers persecute said doubters, skeptics and scientists, so God can feel that his followers still love him by watching them kill those heathenous free-thinkers! What a dick!

Oh, come on. Of course the picture was shopped: the larvae holes were just plain too neat and free of nasty stuff for them to be really caused by flesh-eating wasp larvae. You're a nurse, you should've seen some pictures how real lesions and sores and disease ridden flesh-holes look...

But wouldn't God then be actively ordering his church(es) to do extra-stupid things all the time? I mean seriously, think how many perfectly good bonfire opportunities God's followers don't take.
