I remind you that just because we think our God is doing a bad thing, he might not necessarily been doing something bad.

. . .

Even though all these things are done with the best of intentions, there is no way to explain it to the dog. Maybe the same is possible with God and humans?

Absolutely! In fact, that is the only scientifically consistent argument I have ever heard in favor of a Biblical explanation for the universe. Our point of view is the same as the dog's, and so we can't possibly understand why certain things must be the way they are and why we must do certain things that seem illogical.

However, while I find it consistent, I don't find it persuasive. The same reasoning could be used for every religion that has ever existed.
