111. As far as nature bieng brutal sometimes..
It is also very beautiful other times...

As far as human suffering...."why does God let people suffer or do terrible things?"

I believe we have free will for a reason... and I don't beleive in this stage of the universe God will interfere in any way.. In the future? who knows.

What good would free will be, if we HAD free will but every now and then God steps in and changes things around...?

I don't believe in the evangelical God that meddles in affiars on Earth or who "poofed" the world inti existence in six days.. I see God as an infinite spiritual energy.... not the proverbial "invisible man in the sky"...

As far as god "putting the stars in the sky"... I don't believe it happened that way...

I believe some all powerful Truth that I know as God.. started the begining of time at what we have come to know as the 'Big Bang', and is letting nature run it's course naturally....perhaps the universe itself IS God.. either way... I believe there is a great unseen truth or force or being in the unverse that we cannot comprehend nor will we ever see in this life... I dont think it was meant to be that way....it's a matter of faith, because it's *supposed* to be a matter of faith.

There are alot of things also, like conciousness... that I wonder about all the time but do not claim to fully understand....

I have a few theories, but that's it..

I believe to understand the true nature of God, we would have to be God.

Heyo
