Good people and Bad things

Half the professors at Yale Divinity School say that the fact that bad things happen to good people proves that God doesn't exist.

Maybe I'm being overly simplistic but...

There are no good people ("all have sinned" "all our righteousness is filthy rags")

We can't tell the difference between good happenings in our lives and bad ones (See Job). We do know that "all things work together for good to those who love God." This doesn't mean that all things are good, but it doesn't mean that they aren't, and doesn't change the fact that we can't prove that anything bad has ever happened to anyone...

I wonder if the professors have bothered to check out the definition of divinity recently.
