Dear List Serve,
Thanks again for your help. I have not given you anything to chew on for awhile so why not try helping this young man with this recurring question below. I would appreciate a Cc so that I know that he is getting more help.
Blessings,

Subject: theological question.
I am a 17 year old Christian attending high school. I am extremely interested in science and how science can be approached as a Christian. I have read your statements and beliefs and am proud that there are Christians out there who don't rebuke science because they THINK that the Bible disagrees with some issues(mainly evolution). I applaud you honest search for truth and the realization that God's creation is a source of that truth.
I am attending university next year and am planning on majoring in Astronomy and Physics.
I also have a theological question that I cannot get out of my head, and I haven't found any papers dealing with this issue. I know you aren't theologians but the question does have to do with nature and creation. Here goes:
Nature is complex and organized, suggesting a designer. As well as being perfectly designed, nature is perfectly cruel as well. If God's creation is supposed to reveal his nature, why then does nature seem so cruel and as if it was designed to be that way?
Please e-mail me back. Could you, if possible, shed some light on this question.
Thanks!
Mike Greenhalgh.
