I've passed 58 years on earth and am yet to understand why God does certain things. I fully sympathise and understand the consternation of Carol Leifer. She is the one who famously asked:
Here's something I've never understood; how come men have nipples? What's the point?
Yeah! That's right! What in the world is the point of God endowing men with nipples? What are they supposed to do with them? And in God's universe there are many such surreptitious designs which makes us wonder "What was His real motive?"
Again, for instance, someone quite astute remarked "If God really wanted Adam and Eve to live happily forever in the garden of Eden, I mean if He were really serious, why did He surreptitiously endow them with reproductive organs?"
Quite true! Why did He do things like that? And imitating God, Man too has resorted to such illogical whims and fancies. Take for instance the silent 'G' in many English words. Some man has very perceptively observed:
That man didn't have much to do,
Who put the 'g' in gnat and gnu !
And why do we have illogical designs like the centipede or the tapeworm? And if God wanted peace on Earth, why did He give different teachings at different parts of the Earth? What are we supposed to do with the various religions of the Earth, some of which conflict head-on with others?
