The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[possibletarian]

Also what do the terms 'good' and 'very good' mean to a perfect being ?

Surely the standard for a perfect being who its claimed can make anything must be at the very least 'suitable for the created purpose'

I wouldn't expect a solar system that will kill us one, day, earthquakes, disease and eruptions to fit that criteria. There is absolutely no evidence that the earth was ever more friendly to its occupants, in fact their is evidence that it was much less friendly and had extinction level events even before humanity appeared.

Narrative is only important if you can show it matches the reality of the world around us, otherwise literally any story no matter how ridiculous would be suitable. Clearly the narrative in the bible (and other religious texts) were written when they only knew a world of disease pain and suffering, some choose the path of playful and uncaring gods, others decided to have a loving god, but it is all our fault. You would absolutely expect a religious narrative to try and fit the world around it, unfortunately some have not adapted and now just look silly.
