Yes...but we can perfectly explain how and why earthquakes happen. Just fyi, it's not god making them happen...if you disagree, I suggest you read up on earthquakes
In essence, you're making claims that have no bearing in reality, claims that have ZERO facts behind them other than bigotry resulting from irrational fundamentalist religious beliefs. The "god did it" excuse has never been correct, whether it involves diseases, comets, earthquakes, and all the other nonsense some crazy fundamentalists attribute to god

They are praying, and they are dying. Is God saying they are better off dead then? Children?
If God wants to "do a good", then he would SAVE them, not let them get killed by snipers just trying to cross the street. Unless you are saying that God loves the snipers more than the children, and wants them to be assassinated.

Suffering is a mystery but we know it is redemptive.

Science has a few answers to the workings of God's creation but science doesn't keep creation going. You have to look at who does? It's not humanity, it's someone or something greater. All the "miraculous" points to God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. One God in three persons but how can that be?
See our limited view.

Care to provide objective evidence that proves that god creature exists? Because so far you haven't, and your claims are incredibly laughable until you do
All you do here is preach, and nothing you posted is based on facts and objective evidence. You're essentially dumbing down the people by pretending you're some kind of "messenger". It's really quite sad.

Why should she pray for California? After all, if he has already decided to make an example of it and destroy it, praying would do nothing.

You can't answer because you know I'm right. Praying would do nothing - zippo - nada. Besides, your God seems to delight in watching people suffer. I see no difference between him and Satan.
Actually, the Bible documents God killing WAY more people than Satan....who is the bad one?

A belief can go from one extreme to another. I think we can all agree.
For the Scientist their belief of God comes from studying the cosmos. They can see God in a total different light than a "religious" person.
Each person (even the atheist) will hold their belief close to the heart and snap at people who share a different belief. I don't understand this at all nor do I want to. I think it is a toxic way of thinking and or perceiving others along with yourself.
The Universe is governed by Laws. WE, humans can easily agree on a few things and one of those "things" is the fact there seems to be a law of perception that places a judgement of good and bad.
With each choice man makes there is a reaction to said choice. MAN makes his own reality and lives with each choice that trickles down like a snowball effect.
Why do children die?
Why do any of us die and when death comes why is it for some, extremely traumatic?
We witness every day all day long the answers to the questions, yet we still blame someone else (God) for OUR actions and choices. Just as the cosmos works together for the sake of the whole so does humanity. I think we have a long way to go, unfortunately.
When we grow up I hope AND PRAY we can all take responsibility for our actions and when we witness someone obviously making a choice that could effect the whole we step up and say something for the sake of our human species. I would LOVE to see a day on Earth when we all realize what kind of life we could have here on Earth and how love and compassion can indeed change the world for the better.
