| #2 Free will in this situation describes how one chooses to respond to it: with optimism, pessimism, cynicism, pragmatism, working alone, working together... Lots of possibilities, Redneck Jim. Sadly, earthquakes are the result of the movement of the continental plates, and sometimes they occur where people are. After all, for most of the history of the planet there were no humans to complain that God done them wrong. |
