The Problem of Natural Evil
#4
RE: The Problem of Natural Evil
Quote:So, this argument boils down to your personal incredulity.

You're looking at the incredulity argument backwards. My stance is that the chance of every one of the few hundred people in a coastal fishing village would merit death via tsunami is vanishingly small. The stance of those who believe in divine retribution would be that of the one million+ people killed in the China floods of the 1930s, ALL of them would have had to have been monstrously evil enough to deserve to die, the unpalatable option being that God is willing to take out thousands of good people to kill a few baddies.

Who is being more incredulous?
