How heavy do you want to go into this? Good if your considering creation as
good is present all around us. The natural order of things, the life cycle
of things, are all good and in harmony with one another. You can't
(excluding man) show where this comes out of sync. Wether it be the life of
a plant, bug, animal or star, it all works in perfect harmony. We as man
view the Volcano as bad because it wrecks our little houses and roads. We
see the tornado as bad, or the flood as bad. But they aren't. They are part
of a bigger system that works without evil.
