God as Designer

Perry Marshall claims that he can prove God exists and that he can demonstrate living things have a creator. May I remind Perry Marshall that aside from proving that living things have a creator, he must also prove that such a creator has been a benevolent deity. Well, if we admit the existence of desirable aspects in nature as products of design, we must also admit the undesirable aspects in nature as products of design. Which, in the ultimate analysis, puts Perry Marshal in a ticklish situation. How can he justify a creator who purposely inflicts natural disasters upon man? The master designer could very well be not a kind or a loving God but a supernatural Monster, a malevolent Fiend, or an Almighty Nerd. Poch Suzara
