Catastrophes such as tsunamis and earthquakes do affect the flora and fauna around any given area temporarily, interrupting and unbalancing the food chain. Fortunately though nature is very good at balancing such things. Larger mammals and trees would take longer to return while smaller, faster growing plants and animals would return to the area much quicker.
After a tsunami you can think of the land as a blank slate. Those that reproduce the quickest and have the food to (insects) would see a large population boom. Others would follow as their food supply increased but all animals and plants would be in a rush to fill the niche left over by the tsunami wiping much of the established ecosystem out. The increase in their populations would be dependent on what they were.
Termites would do really well after a tsunami because of all the wet wood. Therefore birds would do really well because of all the termites and so on and so forth until all the niche’s were filled and the food chain eventually reached its “normal” equilibrium. A tsunami area that once had several large species of mammals might not have large mammals in that food chain for sometime until the lower part of the chain was established enough to maintain a food chain that would include large mammals.

So here’s the hypothetical case study:
An old woman thinks that her land is rich in gold and can be sold for lots of money. she hires a geologist to check out her land and it turns out that there is no gold, but instead a lot of oil (which she is unaware of). the old woman would like to sell her land for a fair price so she can give the money to her children/grandchildren, but the geologist would like to buy the land from her for cheap so he can let a petroleum company dig oil there (he also has stocks in this company). should the geologist tell the old woman about the oil, or should he keep it a secret then buy the land for way less than it’s actually worth?
So far I thought of:
No – Deontology
deceiving her fails at least two of the three categorical imperatives of Kantianism
Yes – Utilitarianism
he could make more money than the woman, and spend it more wisely/ spend it towards humanitarian efforts instead of letting the old woman’s relatives have it (who knows what they would use it for?)
I also need to bring in a few of: Corporate Social Responsibility, Marketing, Financial, Law, and Environmental Ethics. I feel this is part that I’m having trouble coming up with ideas.

does believing in gods make you feel childish since it is no different from a child waiting for santa clause to come through the chimney
does being a theist make you feel dumb because the top educated countries such as sweden and norway and japan have significantly more atheists than in less educated countries like cuba and america. i think vietnam has the most atheists in all the countries but thats just because they were communists
it would be really bewildering if theist can believe so hard in a god who has never been seen nor has ever been affiliated with this world
there would also be no reason for a GOD to require 13.7 billion years to create us via big bang and also wouldn’t need any form of worship since he would be a perfect being
there are several different religions in the world so what would lead to a theist thinking his/her religion is right out of the hundreds of others.
there would be no reason for a god to create different racial groups who end up turning against eachother and enslaving eachother anyway
there would be no death since this god would have an infinite world and thus there is no reason for him to limit the population creating sadness, anger, and even suicide.
why does he have to be a guy?
why would he need to create tens of thousands of planets with no purpose but just to be there when apparently his central attention is us
if there is a god why is everything scientific based. people don’t walk on water nowadays and i’ve never seen anybody fly without any external assistance.
there is already enough science to explain how this universe came to be by the way of the Big Bang theory which is still becoming more evident.
why does this ”humble” god punish people for not believing in his existence rather than whether they are doing good or bad and if he has such a big problem why doesn’t he just show himself.
what would be the purpose of our existence other than to mass kill other people and animals and pretty much suck the life out of the world that he apparently created.
wouldn’t this god automatically bless humans with the ability to think reasonably and not be a threat to others since you guys say he created us
if this god allowed for the sufferning mentioned above why do you guys love and care about him so much even though he obviously doesn’t care for you. if this god existed he obviously created us to see us fall apart.
