I remember a 60 Minutes story from years ago where many children in an impoverished, Mexican town were being born with major birth defects. On the hill, overlooking the town, was a huge "junkyard" filled with old auto batteries....shipped there from the USA for "disposal". Lead, zinc and thousands of gallons of sulphuric acid had leached into the groundwater. When asked about the "river" of acid which was filmed flowing down the hill, the owner of the land smiled broadly, showing his gold teeth. "Eees not acid" he grinned, "Ees water!".
Now, would one suppose God was to blame for the birth defects?
How about the deformed babies born to crack addicts?
Did God cause that?
