Do you believe in God?
Me. So, yeah. So, I'm the the more I look at the universe, um, just the less convinced I am that there is something benevolent going on. So, if you, if if your concept of a creator is someone who's all powerful and all good, that's not an uncommon pairing of powers that you might ascribe to a creator: all powerful and all good.
And I look at disasters that afflict earth and life on earth: volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, disease, pestilence, um, congenital birth defects. You look at this list of ways that life is made miserable on Earth by natural causes. And I just ask, how do you deal with that?
So philosophers rose up and said, "If there is a God, God is either not all powerful or not all good." I have no problems if, as we probe the origins of things, we bump up into the bearded man. If that shows up, we're good to go. Okay, not a problem.
