This question <264|155> overall <89|91> Sinbad: <89|279>.  
  Question 50: Why did God create something as imperfect as nature and men? Compare chapter 1 in Cohen's Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence  
  [90] Sinbad: God created imperfect men and nature to allow for transformation. If the world was in a perfect state at its moment of creation, there would be no reason to learn from it or improve its existence. Mortal beings have the opportunity to participate in changing the imperfect things in nature as well as themselves. This progression from imperfect to near perfect gives us hope and goals to strive to achieve. Otherwise, in a perfect world, we would merely exist, there would be no reason to change the state of matters.   
  Hans: I didn't know you all would take this Question so literally.
