As everyone knows, until the advent of medicine, disease, like floods & earthquakes, was a totally random phenomenon. Some people got sick, others didn't. Some died, while others did not. There was no equity. Good people could suffer and die, while evil people might be spared. Despite the inequities, disease was a most effective form of discipline, and god surely must have been happy having created such a diabolic means of punishing people.
Until........ Out of the clear blue, mankind invented medicine. Suddenly, good people didn't have to die. They could be cured, and even vaccinated to prevent disease entirely! Did god slip up?
How could he? We all know god is omniscient. He must have known we'd find cures and vaccines, so the question we must ask is, why did he allow us to thwart this particular plan? We can't prevent any of his other mechanisms of smite... volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons.
Maybe he just wanted to make billionaires out of the pharmaceutical company owners?
