Wow.

... but seriously, that's only true if you suppose that God's agency is the only agency in existence. If God creates a world in which non-divine agency can exist, then causation in that world has to be probablistic, not deterministic. Thus, it allows for natural harms or evils such as polio, earthquakes, typhoons, etc..

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?
