Zdarzenia w rodzaju trzęsień ziemi i wyniszczających chorób często uważane są za coś złego i skłaniają do zadawania kłopotliwych pytań o Bożą dobroć. Chociaż nauka nie uznaje takich zdarzeń za złe, to jednak dostarcza pewnych wskazówek na temat ich pochodzenia. Teodycea podejmuje próbę teologicznego wyjaśnienia pochodzenia zła oraz celu, w jakim Bóg pozwala mu istnieć. Pytanie, czy ewolucja może być jednym z Boskich mechanizmów stwórczych, uzyskuje inną odpowiedź w świetle założeń teodycei augustiańskiej, a inną w ramach teodycei ireneuszowej. Uznając, że każda prawda jest prawdą Bożą, chrześcijanie starają się stworzyć pogląd na świat, który łączyłby naukowe i teologiczne spojrzenie na prowadzące do cierpienia zdarzenia przyrodnicze.

Events such as earthquakes and crippling illnesses are often viewed as evils and raise troubling questions about God’s goodness. While science does not recognize these events as evils, it does offer insights into their origins. Theodicy attempts to explain theologically how evil originated and for what purpose God allows it to exist. Adopting either Augustinian or Irenaean theodicy has important implications concerning the question of whether evolution could be one of God’s creative mechanisms. Finally, recognizing that all truth is God’s truth, Christians seek to develop a world view that includes both scientific and theological understanding of harmful natural events.
