Over 31,000 people have been killed in the Turkey/Syria earthquake so far. Although the scientific and geological aspects of earthquakes are fully discovered and understood, still some people relate earthquakes to some other things like breaking the God’s rules. Do you agree with these people? Please explain. If you don’t agree with them, what do you have to tell them to enlighten them? Give a good answer and win 1,000,000 points. Thank you!
As there is no solid evidence to suggest that earthquakes are a punishment from God for not obeying His rules or laws, I believe that they are a natural phenomenon. Scientific explanations based on observable evidence prove that earthquakes occur when tectonic plates in the Earth’s crust shift or break, which causes the ground to shake. I’m not a religious person, but if God is love, he wouldn’t inflict harm on innocent people.
