Finding faith in few words | Bangkok Post: lifestyle

If God is great and benevolent, why does s/he cause pain and calamity to Earth in the form of natural disaster? Those who cannot find answers turn to the probable empirical evidence called science that to some certain extent demystifies natural phenomena.

Yet, mankind still curses God _ or gods _ for inflicting calamity and pain. Perhaps, humans have always been curious creatures who are not satisfied with only cause-and-effect rationality. No matter how progressive the science is, they are not much different to our ancestors who wonderingly looked up to the sky and looked for answers from God.
