No... what we're talking about here, without introducing any irrelevant ideas, is that nature can't be bad because it just 'is' is precisely the same as God can't be seen to be bad for the exact same reason.
If you say God is based on bullshit then you are also saying that science is based on bullshit.
But God is a conscious being(so it is claimed), he would have decided to destroy Haiti. So if he is
a god of love and mercy where are either of those attributes?
Nature is just a bunch of forces. The concepts of good or bad can't apply.
I don't see how by claiming God is based on bullshit we are claiming Science is the same.
