Actually, God Made Us From Food... by TheArranger(m): 8:43pm On Apr 05, 2019
Why are we made of food?

Why did god make us edible? If god gave humans dominion over everything on earth, why are people made of food? Why are humans made of meat? Why didn’t god make us out of silicon, or metal, or something that can’t be eaten alive?

We are constantly being eaten by bacteria, parasites, mosquitoes, and for much of our history, wild animals. We were told to rule over the animal kingdom but god made us out of animal food.

Adam, the man set to rule animals, would have been made of animal food too. But why? Did god anticipate Adam’s fall and make him meaty from the get go?

If we are made in gods image, is he made of meat too? If not, why couldn’t he have done the same for us, instead of making us tasty to parasites? Being made of meat makes no sense from the perspective of a loving god.

However, it makes perfect sense from an evolutionary standpoint. We’re made of the most common elements in the universe, which we can observe being formed through nuclear fusion all around us in stars. Every living creature on earth is made of these exact materials. Every organism has DNA, and every living creature shares DNA in common. So it makes sense that we’re edible, because food is just the proteins, carbs, and fats that we’re all made of, which can be rearranged in our bodies to perform essential functions.

Plants and animals are made of the same stuff we are, that’s why we eat them. And we’re made of the same stuff they’re made out of, that’s why plants and animals eat us (although most plants don’t eat us quite the same way). Why would god make his children, his creatures that stand out above all else, made out of the same nutrition filled lion snacks as any other flesh?

Computers and robots don’t need to eat food. They don’t need to drink water, or breathe. They can withstand cold temperatures, don’t need sleep, and run on electricity. We also know computers can outperform humans in nearly every kind of calculation, and continue to improve exponentially. There’s no reason to believe that, if equipped with the right sensors and programs, it could experience thought and emotion. And, it wouldn’t be food. No wolf wants to chomp down on Wall-e, but look at him falling in love and appreciating art. Of course, that’s a silly example, but the point is, it would be entirely possible, even in our “limited human minds”, to create a being that can feel and emote without being made of meat. So why aren’t we, if we were created by something far more intelligent than us?

A round of applause for you man! People should think, is this the work of a so called supreme intelligence? Is this the best a being capable of creating a universe can do? Create creatures that feed on themselves till one of these creatures declares itself lord of the earth? No clear distinction between it and those creatures it declares to be inferior? Damn this god being sounds stupid or rather it sounds like the creation of the creature who is not much better than other creatures but needs to feel superior somehow.
