Why would good give us the intelagence to do things if he did not want us to do it. like cloning why is it so bad its the result of how gods world works so cant that mean he ment for it to happen? I know the church shows the world what god wants but dose the church its self even understand 1% of what god Knows. God made it so hormonel contraceptives work, if he did not like them shoulnt they be not possable?

That question answers itself starting in the first book of the Bible. God told Adam and Eve about the tree of knowledge and told them not to eat from it. He gave them knowledge that was not in their best interests to use.

Thus your question could really read “why does God allow evil to exist in general”. While it is hard to find an answer to that question that is completely intellectually satisfying it is not hard to establish that evil is allowed to occur.
 
why did god put the tree in the garden in the first place, let saiten into the garden, yes humans have faults but the physical laws of gods world, dont help. people would still murder but contraceptive dont have to work, god made them work

And God made it possible the atomic bomb and the poisons and the toxic gases and so what? Should we use them?

You are pretty confused , no?

Absolutely. The Atomic Bomb is one of the single greatest inventions of all time.
The only things that rival it in lives saved are vaccines and sterilization techniques (meaning killing bacteria, not rendering people infertile).

God made the world work in certain ways.
We are now figuring out those ways… Think of it as us going into the garage and finding God’s power tools. Now, power tools can be used to build great things, but they can also take your hand off, if you’re careless.
The issue is to make sure that we know how to use them (and how not to use them) before we begin playing with them.

God gave us intelligence fro the same reason He gave us spiritual souls. To participate in His life and work.

In medicine, people learned how how hormones work. The positive aspect of that is that we can diagnose and treat infertility and other physical ailments. The fact that some abuse hormones in order to induce infertility is unfortunate. That doesn’t mean that ignorance would be better.

Similarly, nuclear radiation and poisons are used to treat cancer (radiation therapy and chemotherapy) and infection (antibiotics) in addition to their original purposes of killing.

Unless there is a way to sin, we cannot choose not to sin. One of the ways God wanted us to be like Him was in our ability to make meaningful choices. Unless we have the ability to do the wrong things, we aren’t free beings at all. God created a universe in which there are a lot of good things, but because we have free will, we have the ability to misuse them.

no god did not waqnt to give us the choice to choses right or wrong that cameabout after the fall, ie after adam and eve ate the fruit.

A choice they both made. Adam allowed the snake in the garden by the way; his job was to guard the garden and protect it.

No, you asked why God put the tree in the garden and the answer is that it was because from the beginning, God gave us the choice of good or evil. The time before the fall is not the time when there was no choice between good and evil, but the time when nobody had ever chosen evil. After the fall, it was easier to choose evil than it had been before, but the possibility of choosing evil was not new.

In fact, if you look at it logically, it is not possible that the ability to choose between right and wrong came about after the fall. At the time of the fall (which is not after the fall), Adam and Eve chose evil, so it must have been possible for them to do so.

In fact, He did give them the choice to do good or bad, since eating the fruit was voluntary, bad, and they did it.

After the fall things became more complicated, but the choice was there from the beginning.
 
Then whats the point of the tree i thought it gave us the reason to choose between right and wrong or was it just a random tree was like ok um this tree dont eat from it

Whether to eat the fruit of that tree or not was the first choice between good and evil for our first parents. One could consider it a kind of test. Had they avoided the fruit, their relationship with God would have remained unbroken and to this day we would be able to make choices unhindered by our tendency to sin. Since they ate of the fruit, they, and we, have a built-in tendency to sin, making the struggle against evil much more difficult.
 
im not trolling i swear. im just confused there seems to be more bad than good ( with doing what God wants) that comes from our intelagence as a race or a least no one care to hilight the good.

Because He gave us free will.

Pay no attention to the grammar cop.

There are many good things that come out of our intelligence. Diseases that were once fatal can now be cured quickly and completely. That is a participation in God’s healing work. Economies and political environments in many parts of the world virtually ensure that no person is hungry, naked or unsheltered. Again, that is a participation in God’s work.

Take a look at Matthew 25:31-46 (the judgement of the sheep and goats). Many of the things Jesus praises the sheep for are actually increased by applying our intelligence to the problems.
