-and no further explanation or description of causaulity has lead to any revision in the god concepts allegedly premised upon god as the grand nudger.
Because they don't have anything to do with one another, don't suggest or imply anything about one another, and aren't interchangeable as arguments for each other. So..yeah, no amount of poly explaining the difference between classical notions and quantum mechanics has done a thing for you, huh?
Ground zero.
It's this good guy god that the problem of evil was explicitly created to address. If he's a good guy, what's with the parasites..and... if the parasites aren't his bad - but he's a good guy who can fix things and does want to...well..what's with all these parasites...again? If he's not any of those things - if he's not a good guy or doesn't have the power to fix it or doesn't want to..or all of the above, then fuck him anyway. Or, more politely put, "why call it a god". In it's weakest form it's the evidentiary case - and it's well in evidence. In a stronger form, it's a comment of logical incoherence between the god concept and reality. Our world couldn't be this way if god was what they describe him as or existed-as-such.
