What I don't get is that Biblical literalists will claim the deity created everything, yet blame humans when things go wrong! 
It's all part of the endless parade of excuses, dodges, ducks, dives, bobs and weaves that some theists put up when faced with sceptical challenge to their beliefs.
Theists of any more or less traditional sort are committed to a belief in a god with certain powers. People long ago worked out that the strict and literal meaning of the word
omnipotent is 'capable of doing absolutely anything' and that leads very quickly to logical impossibilities (the ability to create square circles, etc.) so the word had to be dialled back to mean 'with great though not unlimited power; capable of doing everything logically possible.' Therefore for theists their god is able to create a universe out of nothing and create various miracles, and so forth.
What's immediately noticeable is that all these alleged events are buried way, way,
way back in the dim and distant past, buried in arcane documents from obscure corners of the very ancient world in superstitious and credulous times. Never right here, right now, today. Alan Burns boldly alleges that miracles are happening here and now in the world of 2015 but, of course, never provides a scrap of evidence for a single one.
The point being made here is that a god powerful enough to speak a cosmos into being suddenly loses its powers even with something which to it (though not to us) would be vastly more mundane - preventing pain, misery, fear and suffering, for example. The god who could bring forth a universe 13.7 billion of our Earth years ago can't, it seems, prevent famine or earthquake or genocide. When this is pointed out, theists typically go into full-on special pleading mode with every kind of excuse: people are responsible for not feeding the hungry is the one wheeled out most often. Well, with a god of the omnimax sort this doesn't matter: such a deity
wants to prevent suffering,
knows how to prevent and
could prevent it, but doesn't. I, for example, want to prevent suffering but don't always know how to, certainly not on a planet-wide scale ... which, incidentally, backs up Dan Barker's famous statement that most people in most ways in most places most of the time are nicer than Jesus and better than God.
It really is a highly distasteful display of special pleading, excuse rather than explanation, rationalisation rather than rationality, a woeful parade of ad hoccery, largely it would seem made up on the spot, intended to shore up god-belief at absolutely any price rather than face the obvious.
