If they believed that, why wouldn't they say that? Why would they say something fundamentally different?
What I don't get, though, is why they're so quick to praise for something like medical science being 'provided' to us while completely ignoring the fact that he also provided that wonderful flesh eating bacteria that we need the science to combat. Hell, some people even believe our paths are laid out for us which would mean it was intended that the whole ordeal happened in the first place.
It is a question people have asked for thousands of years, so you've got plenty of company. The best parallel is to the nature of time. Relativity teaches us that the universe does not exist in time; rather, time only exists in the universe. Parallel: God does not exist in logic; rather, logic only exists in God. Thus one can say that it is not logically possible for God to be good, and God is good.
