S2E12: The One Where Nature Threatens God

In this episode, Phil and Susie discuss how the volume and intensity of animal suffering in the world serves as evidence to disprove theism, especially the version of theism that purports a loving, omniscient, and omnipotent deity.  Is animal suffering and the theory of evolution evidence against the existence of a loving God?  We expand on the problem of evil that extends beyond human suffering into the animal world.
