quote:
What? Nonesense, he created the world and it rules knowing full well what disasters might befall men through no fault of their own.
If he was trully all good, he would have made a universe where we are only hurt through our own evil.
ANSWER
Genesis 3; 4 (*=my explanation*)
But the serpent said to the woman, "No, you shall not die; (*This is a lie, because it brot death*) for God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and EVIL,"
Let me give a brief explanation of the Garden of Eden.
They had the companionship of God. They had food, water, animals. They had each other. They wanted for nothing.
They disobeyed in the one thing God asked.
They were banished from the Garden of Eden.
They now knew good and evil. the evil was NOW allowed to be surfaced and not hidden and kept from them.
THEIR EYES WERE OPENED.
Their free will was given to them, and they choose.
Natural disasters come from evil. Satan is allowed to interfer with mankind in many ways and blame God.
Take Job for instance....
JOB 1; 8-12
And the Lord said to him (Satan); Hast thou considered my servant Job, and there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil? And Satan answering said; Doth Job fear God in vain? Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth? But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesses thee not to thy face. Then the Lord said to Satan; Behold all that he hath is in thy hand; only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presense of the Lord.
(God allowed Job to be tempted)
JOB 1; 16
And while he was yet speaking (Servant to Job) another came and said ; The fire of God fell from heaven , and striking the sheep and the servants, hath comsumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
*See how the blame is put on God. When God allowed Satan to do as he could to try to persuade Job to hate God. (As I quoted earlier)
Job 1; 19
A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tel thee.
(Another thing Satan did)
Job 2; 9
And his wife said to him ; dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? Bless God, and die. And he said to her : Thou hast spoken like a one of the foolish women If we had not received good things at the hand of GOD, why should we not receive evil? In all those things Job did not sin with his lips.
The whole story of Job's life is he never stopped beleiving even though SATAN took all from him, He stayed in faith. in the end, Job is restored to greatness.
BUT please note; satan perpetrated the catastrophies.
 God allowed the test to take place, because Job had much good from God. Satan wanted to proove God would NOT be loved in adversity.....and calamity. Job lost everything.
Then Jesus came, and showed us how to pray the Our Father.
To NOT be put to the test.
Those who have a good life and no worries, and NO faith in God, have only the life on earth. So the book says. Their time will come.
Folks, does this help?
Today we surely see the evil everywhere. If not, I would hope your eyes will be opened. 
"Even though is difficult, I can still dream."
