THAT's all it would take to make "one of us better than God"?

Geez, how many of us have become better than God already then?


Rabies -- cured even after symptoms appeared.

Smallbox -- killed tens of millions, until we said "God,
this stops here".

Pain in childbirth -- that one's particularly ironic, don't
you think?


Re-attaching severed limbs -- not even unusual any more.


Joint replacements -- don't even trying telling anyone whose mobility
has been restored by a hip replacement or a knee replacments
that these were of no good.


The examples could be multiplied into the hundreds.
