For those of us who believe God is quite omnipotent and omniscient we have little recourse to the opinion that God's judgment is implicit in everything that exists including natural disasters.

God is omniscient and perhaps hasn't a need to make judgments regarding the temporal foreknowing everything as He does. The good news is that the Universe may be a correctional facility for the posterity of Adam and Eve's action's as human beings. God continuously must act to keep humanity on the straight and narrow because they are naturally more and more bent. I suppose humanity would like to blame anthropogenic global warming upon God too-it's there own domesticated cow flatus and SUV exhaust that are to blame.

For some reasons known to God, the remedy for whatever lack of time and space deoptimalization of the potentials of being has been corrected . A theistic evolution of geologic events, climactic cycles and other of the more extreme oscillations of waveform actualization,s so far as the human range of comfort goes, includes such experiences that one might consider to be excessive- from a human point of view.

The underestimation of humanity regarding God's power is significant at all levels. At the level of human religions and what human religious content is regarding God and one another, it is interesting to compare the Muslim eschatological syncretism. Such articles of faith exist in the Mohamedanist canon as; Muslims will eventually meet in an ultimate battle against the Jews-it makes a mockery of the historical Middle East peace-for-land exchange that is as reaffirming to the fundamentalist Muslim goals of recapturing the city of Jerusalem while simultaneously roiling back Jewish territory in order to give the Mohammedanists an advanced line to attack from. Muslims also believe that Jesus Christ will return to vanquish the Jews (they couldn't be more wrong) and he will live just 40 days. In designing
