ABSTRACT
The helping hand of the film crew could be said to 'go against nature', whilst a helping hand from God could be seen as a form of encouragement to realize a better way of life. Denying God's knowledge of the future is not a way of limiting God but of understanding what God has done—or is doing—in creating the universe. There must be special divine actions in order to account for God's moves in the game. If the language of 'miracles' can be used at all in such a context, it refers to acts of kindness or self-sacrifice in the camps that showed how human goodness and dignity remained as a glimmer of light in the midst of so much cruelty. Hebblethwaite makes an interesting point in Evil, Suffering and Religion when he considers whether, if people really thought no creation at all were better than the risk of innocent suffering, people would be unable to justify having children.
