If you can't verify that the Bible is true, then it probably isn't. --------- If by "he" you mean the Christian God, then that's circular logic. Saying that the Bible verifies God and that God verifies the Bible is a logical fallacy.
Simple answer to all deities, both good and evil; When humans were just nomadic tribes, (though they were at different times around the planet) how could they explain to each other where a child came from? It just sort of appeared, right? Like plants and other animals, but then where did those come from? They all start off as seeds of some kind, but try teaching that concept to neanderthals. They come up with these omniscient beings which create them, and thus you get many gods and goddesses of various things. However, how is it that babies are born dead, or their mothers die at childbirth? Where do they pull an answer for that from? May as well make another deity that causes evil. Which is why there are so many belief systems out there and not just some single "God". And I don't know about you guys, but if God does exist (I doubt it) and he lets so many people murder, pillage, and rape in his name, without so much as a smiteful lightning strike, do I really want to spend eternity worshipping such a callous, heartless being?
God does not kill these people satan does and satan can only do it if God allows him to. Everything we think that God does is bad is actually for good. There is a verse that says something like his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts. he thinks and acts way better than us we ould never be equal to him. So God does everything for good. God is love He is not heartless. He is Perfect

Have you considered that their punishment is forthcoming? Most religions believe in an afterlife, and therefore that our lives on earth are about doing good to receive our reward later or doing evil and being punished later. Just saying
God is not after people doig good (even though that's the best) he wants us to accept Jesus in our hearts John 14:6 Jesus answered I am the way truth and the life now one can get to the father exept through me. By accepting him is how you get to heaven.
The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
I've said this before on other threads and I'll say it again. you cannot prove that God does not exist because it is impossible to prove a negative. As for scientific evidence indicating there is a God, there isn't any.
Yakooza what's with the zombie? Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat from the tree of good and evil. She was told if she did she would have the knowledge of God. Sh gave in and ate it and gave it to adam to try that's how sin came into the world. They were cast from the garden of eden.
Everybody (exept little kids) know Santa Clause is real. God on the other hand doesn't really any proof against him. What happened to America like the pledge of Alegiance like everybody beleived in him bach then it used to say ( I pledg of allegiance to the flag....... under god.....) but now it says under us in some schools.
What if? Someday, God proofs to us, that he really existed, there is only 1 thing we can do, to wait for that moment, live the life as we know it, Be Born and Die.
What about the apocalypse? Is it true it is on 2012? Who knows? There are 2 chances that we can proof, that the Big Bang created us, or that God did. The Superior God, the Perfect one & only, If he exists, he must show us he does.
I Trust by Faith, someday, we WILL have the answer.
