He Lives: Jerry Coyne's vexing connundrum: If you think God is possible, how is it there are PAIN + SUFFERING??

I love David Heddle's blog. I think he accurately characterizes Jerry Coyne's argument against God's existence. Coyne wrote

This—the presence of horrible things caused not by humans, but by other features of nature—is the Achilles heel of theistic faith.

Heddle observes:

Of course Jerry—like people who aren't too bright are habitually doing—likes to imagine that his simpleminded argument a) possesses a slam-dunk quality and b) humanity had to wait millennia for someone of his unique intellect to introduce it.

I highly recommend Heddle's blog and article. I think he hits the nail on the head and makes some important observations. I agree with him.
