The world is not perfect. Wars, conflict, theft, hatred, slander, jealousy, murder, impurity, lust, injustice, sexual immortality, and evil desires and greed exist in this world. In addition, liar, selfishness, and lover of money also exist in this imperfect world. The Bible mentions that these things are unclean (Mark 7:20-23). Contrary, even though the world is not perfect, there are still some people who are trying to make the world a better place.
Some people use technologies for evil rather than for good. For instance, some people invent technologies to threaten countries and people instead using them to help cure diseases and protect the environment. They also use technologies to control countries and people instead of giving people their freedom. Leaders who want more power and domination of the world use advance technologies to destroy other countries.

As long as it does not affect their lives or that they receive benefits from corruption and injustice, they allow these dreadful things to exist.

Their hatred and anger, and other negative thinking cause them to kill or suicide. Suicide bombers believe that they are doing God’s words by killing themselves and others. They think they will go to heaven. In addition, they also believe that other people who do not believe what they believe are infidels and need to be destroyed.
Some people also dump trashes, oil, and other chemicals into the ocean, which causes pollution, weather erosion, diseases, and poverty. Fishes and other species die; and people who eat food and drink water that contain viruses get sick or die. Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and floods are destroying homes and communities. Some people lose their homes, cars, and their individual needs. In addition,
