[Fentoine Lum]

If one believes in a single, all powerful God, than this God must hear all prayers. Whether he answers all of them, I don't know. I like to think he loves all of his creation and so answers all prayers.

Nothing anyone believes means anything at all, abandon the word "believe"; the word "lie" is right there in the middle it. We either know, don't know, think, think about, need to think about, or don't think about something. Believe? Pffffffffffffffffft.

What mistakes do children make in order for god to inflict them with cancer? I would never do that to a child. Your god is evil.

This is another mystery. There are dozens of theories about why this happens but nobody knows for sure. If you're really interested in this, there are a lot of youtube videos about it.

I do know my God isn't evil though.

There is the Deist concept, that God simply created the world and let it go at some point. Essentially, gave us the tools and allowed us to learn to use them. The lessons are rough though.

 

[Rich2018]

Man has created cancer, along with many other diseases, with his pollution of soil, air and water...man-made chemicals abound...so stop blaming God for what man has done...

Wait a minute, man can create life?

You do know that cancerous cells and bacteria are life forms right ?

A being who gives children cancer is not evil? I beg to differ. Have you ever considered that the answer to the mystery is that god does not exist? I am interested in your answer, not Youtube. If it does happen then your god is evil, no two ways about it.

What does using tools have to do with giving innocent children cancer?

Wait a minute...you're arguing about something you know nothing about? Figures...

Cancer is caused by accumulated damage to genes. Such changes may be due to chance or to exposure to a cancer causing substance.

The substances that cause cancer are called carcinogens. A carcinogen may be a chemical substance, such as certain molecules in tobacco smoke. The cause of cancer may be environmental agents, viral or genetic factors.

We should bear in mind, though, that in the majority of cancer cases we cannot attribute the disease to a single cause.

We can roughly divide cancer risk factors into the following groups:

biological or internal factors, such as age, gender, inherited genetic defects and skin type
environmental exposure, for instance to radon and UV radiation, and fine particulate matter
occupational risk factors, including carcinogens such as many chemicals, radioactive materials and asbestos
lifestyle-related factors.

Lifestyle-related factors that cause cancer include:

tobacco
alcohol
UV radiation in sunlight
some food-related factors, such as nitrites and poly aromatic hydrocarbons generated by barbecuing food).
Lifestyles can prevent cancer

Cancer causing factors related to work and living environments include:

asbestos fibres
tar and pitch
polynuclear hydrocarbons (e.g. benzopyrene)
Some metal compounds
Some plastic chemicals (e.g. Vinyl chloride)
Bacteria and viruses can cause cancer:

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori, which causes gastritis)
HBV, HCV (hepatitis viruses that cause hepatitis)
HPV (human papilloma virus, papilloma virus, which causes changes eg. Cervical cells)
EBV (Epstein-Barr virus, the herpes virus that causes inflammation of the throat lymphoid)
Radiation can cause cancer:

ionising radiation (e.g. X-ray radiation, soil radon)
non-ionised radiation (the sun’s ultraviolet radiation)
Some drugs may increase the risk of cancer:

certain antineoplastic agents
certain hormones
medicines that cause immune deficiency
In 5 – 10 per cent of breast cancer genetic predisposition plays an important role in the emergence of the disease.

What possible reason could a god have for giving children cancer? Only one, he's a sadist.

When did man first create cancer? Would that be prior to, or subsequent to the Industrial Revolution?

I'm not of the opinion that God is behind the movement of every molecule in the universe. I don't think he's up there, deliberately giving kids cancer or directing tornadoes into houses.

I've seen some stupid answers from Elvira but that one takes the cake! Man created cancer! :lamo

It began here...Romans 5:12...when man was no longer perfect and had no perfect genes to pass on to his offspring...the industrial age only intensified it...

So he isn't omnipotent, despite what the Bible claims. Ok, he isn't responsible for giving children cancer but he could cure them instantly. I would if I had the power so why doesn't he do that?

I not sure omnipotence is unlimited. As far as why God doesn't solve all our problems for us, maybe because we're supposed to learn to do for ourselves. We're called his children, not his pets.

I would never give my children cancer. If they were afflicted and I could cure them then I would do it. I am morally superior to this alleged god. Anyway, there is not a shred of evidence for the existence of any god so the answer is that children get cancer because they get cancer. No gods are involved.

I once saw a group of women in Dublin, Ireland collecting money for a sick child - not to get him medical attention but to send him to Lourdes.

It’s hard to take a superstitiously flawed man from the 1st century seriously, when his ideology involves invoking mythical characters into his personal ethic; much less read into his words the suggestion that a fickle cellular disease evident within our species is somehow caused by “missing the mark” on some sort of moral decision.

What is your explanation?

 

[RAMOSS]

If there's only one God, all prayers to to the the same destination, regardless of the address.

And, if there is no God, or many Gods?

How do you know it's God that gives them cancer?

 

[Omega Man]

What is your explanation?

In general, there are four; namely:

1. Biological/genetic factors
2. Environmental factors
3. Carcinogens and other other occupational risk factors
4. Life-style factors

Whereas your assertion that cancer was created by "sin", that is not entirely accurate. Whereas some cancer is caused by "sinful" factors of choice (pollution, cigarette smoke, too much red meat, etc.), not all are (inherited genetic defects, for example).

Then, why did he set things up so that random happenstances could happen? Didn't he design the whole kitten caboodle? Why make such a flawed design?
