Ok, let's for a minute assume that the Creator did build the human body

worshipping that sort of diety.
Read the story of Adam and Eve in the garden.
It's called having free will, and making the wrong choice.
LOL! So let me get this straight. You are willing worship a being who
sets up two humans with a test he knows they'll fail (he is omniscient,
after all) then when they fail, punishes them AND all their
descendants. Screw that. I'll stick with my Norse gods and a bit of human
sacrifice. At least one can appease them. <grin>
