Does God put any more or less.......

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).

And it nor any other disease would have entered the picture in the 1st place, if not for Adam and Eve...

That's one of the great mysteries.

Does God ignore prayers from atheists? IDK

Maybe we'll find out after we die and go to Heaven.

If an atheist is praying to god, I would suggest he/she is not an atheist

Nonsense. That's pure myth.

Cancer does not exist because of mythical characters written into a story about an enchanted garden 6000 years ago. Modern humans, as we now understand them, have been around for a couple hundred thousand years longer than that.

This is illogical.

Now you've move the goal posts.

It's another mystery that no one except God knows the answer to. There have been a lot of theories over the years and I encourage you to look at them yourself, youtube has many videos on the subject. My take on it, is that God allows us to have free will so he's reluctant to intervene. It's like you're raising a child. Are you a strict parent who never lets the child leave the house, or do you give your child freedom even if part of that freedom is making mistakes?

The Bible is made up of testimony by people. It's not perfect, at least to me, but it's all the material we have on Jesus' life.

I have this discussion with atheists all the time. At some point I'll tell it that faith is required. Faith is "you either believe or you don't, and I choose to believe."

And if you stick around, we'll talk about whether or not we're all living in a simulation.

And then if your kid makes mistakes you cut them off for eternity?

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...

So man created something without god? Amazing.

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.

How can you know that if god is a mystery?

We are all going to die...if we die because we are faithful to Jehovah and Jesus, we are assured of a resurrection...nothing illogical about it...

Still illogical. What is life?

So howdo you know there is a time table? I thought god was timeless.

He is also patient and he knows the best time to benefit mankind the most...

"Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

God is timeless. No timetable. No need for patience. That is a human trait.
