Does the Haiti earthquake prove that there is no god?

this is probably not going to be read, and im admittedly late to the table, but the earthquake shows nothing. There is nothing inherently evil in an earthquake, it is a natural occurence due to the tectonic shifting in the earth (or something like that). If this happened and nobody was hurt, it would not be considered evil

Maybe not, but you can be damned sure someone would call it a miracle, and proof of the existence of God.

I always get a chuckle when people claim that they survived an earthquake, or a flood, or a tornado because of God, yet they never blame God for the disaster in the first place. After all, according to the Bible, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters are always considered to be caused by God's wrath. Just once I'd like to hear someone say, "Well, God tried to kill me with this storm, but I had the foresight to dig myself a storm cellar and he missed me."
