In a world ravaged by natural disasters, diseases, and inexplicable tragedies, the question of why a loving God allows suffering lingers, a persistent thorn in the side of faith. Dr. Sharon Dirckx, a scientist and apologist, embarks on a thoughtful and compassionate journey to explore this paradox in her book, Broken Planet. By intertwining scientific inquiry, personal narrative, and theological insight, Dirckx tackles the toughest questions: Why would a benevolent God create a world prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, and pandemics? How can we reconcile the existence of a loving God with the devastating consequences of natural disasters? Are illnesses and tragedies a form of divine punishment? Dirckx's thoughtful exploration delves into the complexities of suffering, acknowledging the mystery that surrounds us, while offering a nuanced and empathetic perspective on the nature of God. This book is a beacon of hope for those struggling to reconcile their faith with the harsh realities of our world, revealing that the existence of a loving God is not only plausible but also profoundly meaningful.
