“Therefore, not only were humans affected by the fall,but nature itself.”
I was explaining that to my kids. Our preacher was talking about the “bad stuff” that happens. Four reasons iirc: fallen creation, our sins (we do stupid/bad stuff that hurts us), other’s sin (they hurt us), and God’s judgement. He is of the opinion that the “God’s Judgement” aspect is not the first one we should jump on. And not to say we can’t grow from the bad things that happen due to the other three causes. But he was of the opinion that when it is God’s judgement on you - you’ll know it, and that it will be clear as to why.
I don’t think God creates hurricanes. I think natural disasters are part of his creation. It’s like if I create a computer program....say Sim City, and I have disasters turned on. They can randomly happen, or I can destroy my city with them. I think they happen because they are just part of Gods system of creation, or God obviously CAN make them happen. But I think the former is more likely in 99% of natural disasters.
