Disasters explained?

Brooks: God, how come there are natural disasters, like fires and floods?
God: I don’t know.
Brooks: Wait, what?! But you’re, God. You’re supposed to know everything.
God: “Supposed” is the operative word.
Brooks: Well, if you don’t know, who does?
God: I don’t know. But if you meet them, let me know. I have a lot of questions of my own.
