Richard Dawkins - The Theology of the Tsunami

I have never found the problem of evil very persuasive as an argument against the existence of deities. There seems to be no obvious reason to presume that your God will be good. The question for me is why one thinks any God, good or evil or indifferent, exists at all. Most of the Greek pantheon sported very human vices, and the "jealous God" of the Old Testament is surely one of the nastiest, most truly evil characters in all fiction. Tsunamis would be just up his street, and, the more misery and mayhem, the better. I have always thought the "problem of evil" was a relatively trivial difficulty for theists, compared to the Argument from Improbability, which is a genuinely powerful, indeed, knockdown argument against the very existence of all forms of unevolved creative intelligence.
