She didn't design humans with the end result of us "smart" modern creatures, she made the rules and systems that after long progress those made us.
The fact that there are natural disasters and murders does not mean there is no god. The god you are envisioning would be about as smart as a two year old. The existence of "bad" things does not mean god failed, but that we haven't taken into account the necessity of these things.
You can tell yourself that because the world is not perfect in your little bubble, that there is no god, but it is fallacious. There would not be human life, and the ability to have these discussions if the world was not exactly the way it is, good and bad.
And Chat, I appreciate your take. Whether or not there is this much touted evidence of gods existence is circumstantial and subjective. I see evidence of god everywhere I look, you do not. Neither of us is wrong until we try to tell the other to see it our way.
And either way, we will know at the end of this journey. So let us remain open to each others beliefs, and not descend that "New Atheism" (or old religion) spiral of fanaticism and intolerance.
Thanks.
