Theological Understanding

Every thirty seconds on the news I see a new story about a murderer, a burglar, a child molester. It has been said that we cannot know the face of God/ess, But using scientific methodology, I would venture that this burning bush that we call earth was set ablaze by an omnipotent child with a magnifying glass, laughing at the blackend husks of ants and dinosaurs, neanderthals and Newtons. It would be a foolish theory if you could prove to me that violence isn't cyclical, a cascading and tumescent force which only gains strength as it moves along.
