1. God is just watching out for you
So, that goal can be achieved by eliminating diseases or not creating the diseases or making humans immune to those microorganisms + viruses.
Why has this god been able to solve problem #1?
For the pregnancy, why not just offer a switch? Let's say the switch is somewhere on your left shoulder.
When you turn off the switch, the woman doesn't release an egg.
A man can have a switch as well. When he turns off the switch, no sperm cells would be released.
Why has this god been able to solve problem #2?
Never ceases to amaze me at the large numbers of believers who claim to know what god wants and thinks. God's wishes tend to coincide exactly with the wishes, fears and prejudices of the person making the idiotic claim.
Why idiotic? So far no one has ever managed to demonstrate that god (any god) exists or does not.
Another view is that the Abrahamic god has several infinite attributes. As such, we would be less than fleas on a dog to he/she/it/ they.. We would have far less luck communicating with him than those fleas with their dog . The dog also gives far more the the fleas than any god has ever been shown to give human beings. Makes perfect sense to me, what with god(s) probably not existing and all.
They are acting on intuition, I guess. They care for their fellow human beings and look out for them and so, they think that god is nice guy like them, he looks out for people's well being.
I heard it from Tracy from the Atheist Experience show: "Ever noticed how god likes the same people you like and he hates the same people you hate?"

There is a lot of people that I can't prove that don't exist. I can't prove that gods, smurfs, Disney's Gummy Bears, Thundercats, elves, angels, ...
I can't even prove that I don't have a sister.
Maybe I can show all my family photos. Maybe you interview all the people I know.
If the government keeps a registry of all people born, then it becomes easier to prove she does not exist.
Also, how can I change my post?
I wanted to write
