 There are different kinds of responses to the problem of natural evil in theological traditions: Aesthetic responses say that we don’t presently have the right perspective to see the overall beauty of the natural system, and thus that there really is no natural evil; Soul-making responses say that this present vale of natural evil is justified because it gives us the chance to become virtuous; Skeptical theistic responses say that given our limited faculties we cannot reasonably expect to understand why God would allow natural evils. (For more on these responses see M. Adams 1998, Tooley 2002 [2019]).
