Questioning why an all-powerful god would rely on flawed human transmission
Original: Theists: Why would an all-powerful god rely on fallible humans using oral tales, dead languages, disintegrating paper, f
A question circulating online asks believers why an all-powerful god would spread his message through fallible means: oral tradition, dead languages, decaying manuscripts, flawed copies, mistranslations and personal revelations. The challenge targets the reliability of religious texts and revelation as a method of divine communication, and is drawing responses from atheists and people of faith debating how a perfect being could depend on imperfect human carriers.
Why now: The classic problem of divine communication through imperfect human mediation keeps provoking debate between atheists and believers.
