Did god create cancer?

Well if you believe God exists, you believe that he created everything, then he must have created cancer. \n\nIf everything he made was perfect then the cancerous cell or gene must have been intended along with all other viruses, diseases and genetic disorders.\n\nJust another reason to doubt the existance of an all loving God!

Let me answer your question with a question.  If chicken pox was sent by GOD, who sent us Cancer, AIDS, Hepatitis C, .....?   ...If you assign one disease per Deity/anti-deity/etc., soon you'll run out of Saints, Angels, Demons, Devils and even Superheros themselves.

My mother as well died of cancer.  Yet, while cancer is horrible in this present age, it may find a redeeming value in the future once we discover a way to control it.  Many diseases may be cured through the technology and treatments of cancer.  It is terrible now and many many have lost loved ones, but I firmly believe everything in its season will produce the good that God designs for it.  \n\nWe live in the shadow of ignorance which is the cause of the pain and destruction in which we live.  Jesus life death and resurrection proves that our current trials are not permanent.\n\nAcne and flatulence are the same way.  There may be a positive reason for their existence.  Seriously!\nGod is in control and turns lemons into lemonade each and every moment.  Ask for the Grace to see.

interesting how that works huh. christians think its god healing them, they have know knowledge of the human body and how anti-bodies work, what makes us well. they use medicine and still claim god did all the work... last i recalled medicine was made by man. ud think if it WAS god, they wouldnt need to go to the doctors or the hospitals. when diagnosed with cancer their god should be able to heal it without chemotherapy?

Yes smoking cause cancer.

WebMD is a good website.  However, it is NOT true that only doctors can have an informed opinion on this.  I am a research biologist who studies cancer in my laboratory.  So, I think my opinion is valid even though I am not a Medical Doctor.  Please see my answer on your previous question for a more thorough explanation of the causes of cancer.\n\nRadiation is known to induce mutations, which can then result in cancer.  However, it is NOT clear whether the radiation dosage from power lines or cell phones is sufficient to cause cancer.  I suspect it is NOT or else we would be experiencing a cancer epidemic in America.

there is a very good chance that it could be cancer, but keep your faith in god, and he will help you threw.

wow, people who have no clue try to sound like medical experts.  I'm no medical expert, but I can lead you to a better answer.\n\nTelomere immortalization is one known element of cancer, so I'll use that to explain why smoking is a leading cause of cancer, but just know there are several other things that happen besides this.\n\nBasically cancers are cells that grow, bond, and refuse to die.  We're talking about cells that try to become immortal, and you can understand why.  The carbons and chemicals in your lungs actively block oxygen, which your lungs were designed to need.  Every time your body replaces dead cells (which it does constantly), it checks the environment they're in to see if they need to make adjustments.  Oxygen is essential to cell survival, so if you're choking them to death, they'll get desperate.  Some will just die.  Some will go on gasping for air.  But some will rebel from the body, which is killing them, and find their own mission.  And a tumor is born.  These are like lawless vigilantes who don't give a damn about being part of the body anymore.

I stopped smoking the day my dentist said that I may have oral cancer.  I made an appointment with my doctor for cancer test and I begged God that night before my test results that I would not smoke again if they came back negative which they did and believe it or not, that same night I was CRYING to God begging for just one more smoke !\n\nHave not smoked since my dental appointment Sept. 19, 2006.

thats just dumb. What about cats? or cows? ooooohhh or better yet, people?\nthe earth is full of radio signals and transmissions even radiation.... man made and natural. \nNo. tumors develope because of natural selection. Its natures way of weeding out the crap in the gene pool. \nSure does a crummy job if you ask me.

No. It is an auto-immune disese. In this disease body's defence mechanism gets deranged and attacks the self. It mainly and initially affects the joints. Later on it may involve the heart, kidney, spleen etc. This disease does not lead to cancer.

Yes, in theory cancer has existed since the beginning of life. It exists in almost all known species (in one form or another). Cancer, simply put, is when a cell loses its ability to regulate division, and begins dividing (reproducing) uncontrollably. This happens most often due to a genetic mutation in the DNA/RNA of the cell. Mutations can be caused by radiation (including UV rays), toxins in the environment, and many other mutagens.\n\nIt occurs more often in older people because they have usually been exposed to more of these mutagens throughout their lives than younger people. There is also a genetic component – if you inherited genes from your parents that were precursors to cancer, then it takes fewer mutations before getting a cancer cell.\n\nThis is also the most likely explanation for why there are so many different types of cancer today -- people live MUCH longer than they did even 50 years ago, and are therefore exposed to more cancer-causing mutagens in their lifetime. People are also (on average) having children much later in life, which makes it more likely to pass on genes that have more genetic mutations.

my dad got liver cancer when i was born and he said he asked Christ to heal him and to give him 20 years to raise me. the terminal cancer went away 100% without chemotherapy and he died when i was 20. Praise God.
