Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

We have free will, nature doesn't. Nature acts on it's own accord. Even then disasters can have purpose (like forrest fires spreading certain trees or refertilising regions). But in general, nature acts on it's own precarious balance. The only effect of free will on nature is us not exercising caution or haste in dealing with climate change, leading to more disasters. As for disease, it's hard to imagine a biological system in which we have decay, but not disease.

But why would God allow natural disasters to exist then? They have nothing to do with human free will. Isn't he omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent? 

Yes, but these qualities do not contradict nature. If we move past Adam and Eve, God did not create the world for us alone. And since nature is by its very... nature morally neutral, why would it act in a moral way? Nature is the gray to our human black and white. It does not care for us alone. And why would God specifically reshape his creation to suit us as good natured?
