He is working towards life eternal. The earth will one day die/ disappear/ go away and then we are left with eternity.

People living miserable lives is not a means to this end. It is merely a fact because we live in a broken world, full of sin, in which man has turned away from God. This is not the universe He created -- that was intended for perfection. And that is what eternity can and will be, for those who follow Him.[/quote]
But if he created the world one way, and it turned into something else, doesn't that mean he failed?  And if, it is actually the failure of humans (Eve, et al), but, since he knows everything, he knew that whole apple thing would happen and still he put it there, knowing she wasn't strong enough to handle it.  It just sounds like a set up to me![/quote]

No. It means WE failed. We failed as a human race and we fail individually, all the time. Look at it this way: You have your sweet Little One who is "perfect" as a baby. Then one day, she mysteriously morphs into a Terrible Two who talks back to you and rebels. Are you "surprised?"[/quote]

People with strong faith in God see God as right and people as failing.  When things are right, it's a blessing from God.  When things go wrong, it's your own fault and/or part of God's plan.  It doesn't make sense to some people, but it simplifies things for people with the gift of faith.[/quote]
