Why did God create an almost endless variety of drugs, if not good, or intended for use? We are taught that nothing was made in vain.—A believer in Christian Science.
God did not make an almost endless variety of drugs, or any drugs. Drugs are of human invention. The first known drug-maker was a Pagan physician. Mineral, vegetable, and animal substances (so-called) have been made into mixtures called drugs, and these have been given out as possessing healing power. In fact they possess just the healing power the mortal law—or mind—has endowed them with; no more, no less.
God is not in these mixtures. If He were, the drugs would be divine, and would never kill people—no matter how large the dose.
