The traditional religious belief is that almighty God controls everything that happens according to his will. If that is so, dare we ask a few questions of the Father we are told loves all of us as his children?

Why are we suffering this dreadful viral pandemic? Why is our world threatened by climate change and environmental destruction? Why are so many people living in poverty? Why are so many suffering from famine and sickness? Why is there so much crime, corruption, abuse, and addiction? Why, despite the sacrifice of his only Son, is sin as rife today as it ever was?

The evidence is compelling, so compelling that no rational person can deny it - our world is in a mess.

We are facing potentially catastrophic worldwide problems: climate change, environmental destruction, rising sea levels, pollution, species extinction, pandemic threat, and more. Scientists warn we have twenty, maybe thirty, years before these problems become irreversible. If that happens, the prognosis is disaster on a global scale.
