of divine non-intervention to be a real problem, «we must be able to identify specific kinds
of cases in which God morally ought to intervene but does not» Many critics
of (traditional) theism probably already have a more or less vague list
of such cases, which might include genocidal events, such as the Nazi holocaust and the Rwandan massacre; wars; large - scale natural disasters; conditions
of chronic poverty, in which millions
of children
die from
starvation or are permanently stunted because
of inadequate protein; the sexual molestation
of children, which
often leaves them psychologically scarred for the rest
of their lives; death preceded by long, painful illnesses, such as cancer or AIDS, or by mind - destroying conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease; and the kinds
of events described by Dostoyevski, such as the soldier using his pistol to get a mother's baby to giggle with delight and then blowing its brains out.

of the New England Aquarium in Boston.
