Problem of Evil: Natural Disasters

While we can explain the evil of this world based on idea that man has fallen, how do we connect this to 'Acts of God'?  Does God kill people?  Well.  Here we should turn to Genesis three again, and Romans 8 as I mentioned before.  The natural world, thanks to man's sin, is cursed. Paul says that creation cries out for Christ's return. So do we (that is the feeling of oughtness I referenced before).

The long and the short of it is that no one is free from sin, the wages of sin is death, and therefore a natural disaster that kills people just brings about the inevitable: this life is limited.  There is no righteous man, not even one.

It seems to me that where folks get bolluxed on this one is that they think of themselves as 'basically good.' Well, I am not basically good.  I am wretched and fallen. When you encounter someone who thinks that bad things shouldn't happen to 'good' people, ask them where they set the bar for 'good people.' You will inevitably find they always set it a little conveniently lower than where they are.
