• Moral evil is a result of human action, whereas natural evil can only be blamed on God, if He even exists. Natural disasters and diseases seem at odds with a good and benevolent God. • Try to remember, though, that God created this universe with inviolable natural laws that make our existence possible. • The main purpose of this universe is preparatory. This is not the end or pinnacle of our existence. Even an ideal physical creation is finite.
• “Well, I certainly wouldn’t have created a world with earthquakes!” • But what would have to be changed to facilitate this? • Would you want a planet without plate tectonics? Try Mars or Venus! How about a planet without a molten mantle? Well, then you would really start missing our magnetosphere, which protects us from radiation. Why not just get rid of the radiation? How? You would have to eliminate the sun, for starters.
