    Sin causing hurricans is absolutely insanity. The fact you believe it blows my mind.

        Broad question. As regards to hurricanes, I believe they are a natural weather event caused by the interactions of heat and pressure in the atmosphere.

          Yes, but those natural conditions wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the fall of man.

              What you’re asking here is essentially less about the fall theologically, and more about “How do you know Christianity is true”, correct?

                How do you know christianity is correct is part of it. But no part of Christianity that I’m aware of states that sin causes hurricanes.

                So maybe start there.

                  Genesis 3:17-19

                  And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

                  Romans 8:18-23

                  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

                  Essentially, sin cursed the earth. Natural disasters are a part of that.
