Description
Book SynopsisThis book is about all the suffering and death produced by natural processes like tsunamis, genetic disorders, extreme weather events, even before climate change, and the whole evolutionary process leading to all living things on the planet. (The book is not about the violence men and women wilfully do to each other and to the planet.) Many people find all this suffering and death due to natural processes hard to reconcile with the belief that these natural processes are created by a God who is all powerful, all knowing and wholly good. They expect such a God to create a different kind of universe without such suffering and death. The actual universe contradicts the universe expected. This is good enough reason for many people to decide to give up believing in God who is the creator of these natural processes. The book is an invitation for people to revisit that decision. The book comes from the author co-designing and co-lecturing with his atheist colleagues in History and Philosop
