The answer given is that the diversity in creation is existentially advantageous and necessary for the order of creation. It is consequential to the principle of 'cause and effect.' The assumption that creation must be alike is an immature idea and if we look further we will understand that this type of idea is akin to the idea of not creating. For example, if all human beings were only men or women, there would be no birth or reproduction, resulting in the end of the human race. If all creatures were human beings then there would be nothing to consume or sustain our needs. If animals and plants were all of a single colour, we would lose the benefits and spectacular beauties that we find in creation. Appearances of different phenomena in distinctive forms are the results of conditions and these conditions are because of the movement of matter. Nobody has the right to make an objection regarding conditions before his or her birth in order that he or she should have been given another form or to exist in a different place or time, implying that there could be space for questioning divine justice.
