Even if such an entity did exist it this old statement applies:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
OfCourse he is able.
Is he able but not willing?
OfCourse he is willing.
Is he able and willing?
OfCourse he is.
Then whence comes evil.
Is God going to stop people who do what they want and not what he says, when he has given warning after warning?
Has he not told us over and over the consequences of disobedience, death!
Then we ask why we have disasters?
