Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, forest fires, viruses, and cancer: How could a loving God allow such devastation and suffering from the natural world? How much does human choice play into this? Today I talk with Cambridge University trained scientist and author Dr. Sharon Dirckx on the problem of natural evil and why God allows things like natural disasters and diseases in our world.
