Good post, pathfinder. I agree with most of what you said.

But, in this part of your post:

  • we dont know for sure what is good and bad, his divine wisdom is greater than our wordly one
  • so the bad can actually be helping us in god’s view

I am unable to see anything logical in this. It just sounds like an excuse to dodge difficult questions. Probably the most unsettling question for Theologians is, “If God exists, what exactly is stopping him from doing a better job of managing this world?” If they respond with something like, “God is bigger than you so you have no right to question His work“. How is this not a quintessential case of an ad hominem attack?

Laws of Kamma and Paticca Samuppada can’t be proven by modern science but Dr. Lal has repeatedly emphasized that one could approach these concepts with a scientific approach. Introduction – A Scientific Approach to Buddha Dhamma
