Is she sure SPECTRE didn't cause this earthquake/Tsunami? I watched A View to a Kill last night.

The purposelessnes and vacuousness of an irrelgious life, not surprisingly, often can lead to this type of mentality, and resultant behavior. Thankfully, many irreligious people, unconsciously, still hang on to some basic religious concept of morality and purpose, even though it is not logically consistent with their worldview.

the ability to do good would be meaningless if we did not also have the ability to do evil.

God does not have to ability to do evil. If the good that God does is meaningless, then all of creation: time, matter and space is meaningless. I would have to characterize the above statement as nihilism disguised as a profundity.

Evil is not the opposite of good, it is any lack of good. Evil is found in intentions not in actions which is why humans sin all of the time even when the are doing "good deeds". And even a flood that covers the whole face of the earth is absolutely good, when God does it.
