The Creative Universe and the Creating God

چکیده
As I discussed in Chapter 1, the fact that good people often have to endure great tragedies while the wicked often prosper without being punished challenges the concept that the omnipotent and benevolent God closely supervises human affairs. However, an even more serious challenge comes from the historical evils unleashed in the twentieth century—the two world wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the civil wars in Cambodia, former Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Rwanda. After witnessing gruesome mass killings in Rwanda, one missionary said,“There are no devils left in the Hell. They are all in Rwanda.” We feel helpless at the realization that all the organizations and institutions in the world could not stop these killings in time. We wish God’s help in these events. The magnitude of the evils revealed in these historical events is so enormous that the notion that the omniscient and benevolent God closely presides over human history seems no longer persuasive.
