I find the factor of fallen angels that was mentioned to be very helpful. Not only can it explain the presence of natural disasters before the arrival of humans, but there's the possible ongoing involvement of fallen spiritual beings.
Oh dear... some discussion here left me gasping and disappointed. For me, the question is... Why did good God create a sometimes malevolent planet... malevolent from the perspective of a human...
They spent most of the interview dancing around the question of why their God allows natural disasters; actual theodicy was only presented very briefly at the end of the video. The idea of an all-knowing and good God allowing floods to drown babies because it helps certain people make "free" and "meaningful" choices is flat-out psychopathic.
There is NO god of any holy book, ALL gods are strictly human manufactured fiction. Christianity, Islam, Judaism are an absurdity full of hate and ignorance, god is fiction in EVERY religion, culture, and language, everywhere, every second of every day, 365. It is just an excuse to engage in nonsense-ordained hate and othering. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century, it never was. The sooner humanity understands this, the sooner we can get to work in unison for humanity actual. Non-belief is JUSTIFIED!
