This is just a glorified advertisement for a shitty book attempting (and largely failing) to mock criticisms of absurdities in omniscience, benevolence, and omnipotence. Consider how this person describes his own book:

Author A. L. van den Herik invites readers to evaluate the Christian faith with the same techniques used to investigate scientific phenomena and historical events, and find out why the leap of faith to Jesus is the shortest leap.

When you begin by proclaiming you're using "science", and conclude by declaring "faith", you've admitted you aren't using science. In fact there is nothing ever compelling anyone to make leaps (excepting, say, walking off a cliff). At all. For any asserted event people proclaim occurred, if you truly do lack information, the shortest leap is "I don't know and neither do you".

I dunno man, that argument about joint Pizza Hut-Taco Bells is pretty convincing.
