Natural Evil

I am just reading a news article about how a bishop said "Even religion can't make sense of Japanese tragedy."

Here's what pissed me off and quoted from article,

Bishop Michael Ingham told the audience that disasters such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan are examples of "natural evil," which happen randomly and can't be explained by any divine plan.
"Natural evil is the result of things over which we have no control — earthquakes, tsunamis," Ingham said during the 90-minute service.
"We call them evil because they are evil. They wreak havoc upon the innocent and the defenceless. ... Natural evil is random. It is not planned. It afflicts us without reason and without human deserving."

How can a bishop, a messenger of God, said such things about the land we live in, God's land? How does he know the earthquake and tsunamis aren't planned? "Natural evil is the result of things over which we have no control." What do we call wars, something we can control? Discrimination, prejudice? Seems to me, this "bishop" took God's land for granted. God can shake things up as He intended. This is no warning, there is no signs of what He will do next. What will we do if God gives us a warning about the earthquake? We'll probably just run away if we can and leave the less fortunate stranded. Will we learn anything from that? Yes, we are horrible human beings and deserved to be punished. There is probably a reason why there was an earthquake then tsunamis then the nuclear crisis. I don't know the reason because I know we are not at God's intellectual level to realize it. Something always happen for a reason. Just because it happens in "random" doesn't mean it's evil. If something can't be explain or happens randomly, it is evil. This kind of nonsense makes me wonder why he is a bishop and people are listening to him. What if I tell him, earthquakes don't happen randomly but it can occur within 100 years or 1000 years again. It's not randomly now, I have statistics. Is that still a natural evil? Sometimes God strikes us down so that He can see us stand back up and become stronger.
