and also, if there were no tragedies (or we weren't aware of them) would we care about the universe, purpose, and existence as much?

Because tragedies have no purpose or cause, therefore people get an inkling that Objective Reality is showing them that life is random, tragedies happen to good and bad people, the only rule being the laws of physics (at least what we know of it.)

Prior to tragedies, most people haven't accepted Objective Reality, God and the irrational belief systems springs forth from the primitive limbic system of your brain, the last remnants of your reptillion past. The area where our raw emotions reside, including the irrational belief systems.

The 'religious' experience is triggered by deep depression, starvation, near death, or other highly charged situations. The 'born-again' christian phenomena has a scientific basis....yes, your limbic system. Why has man evolved this mechanism you might ask? Simple...it was a survival mechanism of our cave man ancestors to cope with a hostile and unknown universe.

The cerebral cortex is a more recent development. Here is where our rational and logical thought processes take place. It is here that the atheists have found their basis in reality.

In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being, supernatural entity or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, some will have good things happen to them and some not, some will blame the invisible entity but objective reality wins all the time....no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of theirs to work...sorry

And why does bad things happen to good people all the time? When the tectonic plates crash into each other causing human calamity, they don't worry about Karma, good and bad, evil and riteousness. Life's paths are made up of randon circumstances, some predictable and some not. Most religious people will state that god has a 'bigger' plan for them and humans in general, that we can't know the 'big picture.' Most say there can't be good unless we know or experience the depths of evil.

Is it fair to have predation, disease, deformities, child rape, parasites and evil in the world? If the answer is yes, then with god(s) like that, who need them?

The philosopher Karl Jaspers said that one of the fountains of the Philosophy are the "limit situations" (you say tragedies) In that troubled times we think and question about existence.
A writer named William Hudson said that he had not time to learn Philosophy, because he was "happy". He tried to mean that Philosophy is only possible if you suffer, or you're not happy.
I hope this ideas will be useful for you.
Kind Regards.

If is always a big word. We, unfortunately, live the greatest tragedy of all. We call it the Human Condition.
