Do you think the Almighty expected Adam & Eve just to behave like humanoids with no feelings and emotions? Probably He did when He asked them not to eat the apple, and yet they ignored the instructions and made a decision to eat it anyway. The reason was simple - they were created with a brain used for analysis and decision making. Yes, they became humans, and NOT humanoids!
The fact that we have brains, we need to solve our problems, and be rational about things. Primitive men had overcome darkness by "creating" fire; Thomas Edison went a step further and invented light bulb. Let's be creative and start creating your own light, shining and guiding you through darkness.
If everyone seeks or relies on divine power, then the purpose of our existence is meaningless. Saints do not perform miracles by themselves, but rely on divine powers. If everyone can perform miracles to perform tasks during difficult times, there will be too many potential saints for the Pope to conduct all the canonisation ceremonies.
Are floods, famines, earthquakes, volcanic activities, fires and other natural disasters punishments of humans' wrong doing or humans' stupidity? The deaths of many caused by some of these unfortunate events have nothing to do with human activities or humans' misbehaviour. It has nothing to do with cleansing, if so, whoever makes these happened should never be forgiven! I hope the flood during Noah's time was just part of climatic cycle.
I am not an anti-Christ or anti-religion. I am not perfect, and I don’t want to be; I want to be a better person tomorrow, but a perfect person can’t!
