The universe is not a complete product; and therefore unfortunately natural disasters and disease is inevitable.

If it’s incomplete because God isn’t done with it, that seems to fly in the face of the deist position which I’ve seen defined as “belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe.”

If God isn’t done yet, in what sense are you a deist? If he is done, how is it that the universe is in some way “incomplete”?
