Naomi.... your stated uglies are all but man made!
How do you work that one out?
OK, even if we give you the benefit of the doubt and say (just for argument's sake) the 2004 Tsunami was caused, fundamentally, by our nuclear tests, that doesn't explain disasters such as Krakatoa in 1883, the destruction of Pompeii in AD79, or the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. To deny that natural disasters are created by anything other than nature (aka by the faithful as God), is an excuse and it's a cop out. There is a good deal of ugliness in this world that is not man-made, but it seems that fact is too difficult for believers to admit and to accept.
