Not sure if he covers it in the video, but he does talk about this extensively in various writings. Here is a small blurb from his book "God according tp God"
The same God that told us to choose life (Deut. 30:19) created a world in which earthquakes and
tidal waves, plagues and disease snuff the breath of life from myriads of humans ‐ and animals too ‐ at
times in a span of seconds. Is this the doing of the God about which the Bible teaches? Is God
indifferent to our sufferings? If Devine wisdom convincingly does form the basis of existence, we would
logically expect a perfect world, with no errors, no unjustified tragedy. But, that would depend on how
God’s role in this world is defined. If the world were a Spinoza‐ type creation in which God steps back
after setting in place the finely tuned laws of nature, then there’d be no contradiction. Shouldn’t that
goodness be obvious if God is in charge? Perhaps not. By human logic it is illogical that the reputed
infinite God of the Bible would create a world with such basic flaws. God hides the Divine presence
sufficiently to allow each of us to make our own choices, for better or worse, freely within the confines
of our physical and social landscape, without the specter of a cosmic Force peering over our shoulders,
judging our every act. Though man cannot always even half control his destiny, God has given the reins
of man’s conduct, altogether into his hands. We can only know God by what God does. What God is is
what God does in our temporally and physically limited span of existence.
God created the world with three types of cognition, knowledge, understanding and insight ‐ all
three of which are feminine. Psalm 22 says, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The very
next Psalm says, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” These two verses in words capture the
frustrations that the Biblical Job must have felt during and even after his unwarranted sufferings. Why
did God abandon him? No Divine explanation was offered, only the assurance by God that God had
never forsaken Job, even though God allowed Job to be subject to horrific punishment. And as proof of
God’s shepherding, God ensured that Job survived those troubles. With the way the God of the Bible
relates to this world, not every ill wind that comes one’s way is sent by God. For all the freedom of
purpose implied in “I will be that which I will be,” God has set ground rules, limits, not only for humans,
but also for Devine behavior.
The God that most skeptics reject, a God with unceasing hands ‐ on control, is simply not the God
of the Bible. The biblical God may enter the fray when the flow of nature and humanity strays too far
from the intended teleological path. In general, however, the running of the universe is not a power
play by God. We and the laws of nature, which are themselves creations of the creator, have a major
role in the scenario.
