text: if god is all-powerful and in control of everything, then why tragidies like earthquake, war, etc happen?   war is a fault of man, he gave man freewill.  natural disasters, on the other hand, are just that: natural.  god created everything, and set the world into motion.  at first everything was perfect, but after the flood, the entire surface of the earth changed.  the earth has been following the second law of thermodynamics, in that it is going from order to disorder.   another thought is the thought that god was serious when he said that if we don't worship him, the rocks will cry out in our place.
