I didn't say he couldn't. I said he doesn't. Do you think there might be a reason for suffering?
So when they get to heaven it gets even more praise, "thank god (you/it) that's over. I really like the overstuffed furniture here."?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

If God could stop us from dying and he just lets us die after he created us then he is a murderer unless he has a good reason, which he does. For those of us who believe in him, we accept that. It's not all about this life here. If you don't believe, of course it's a joke.
Stopping the entire population of Earth from dying at this point would create enormous problems. Death is a required part of evolution on our planet.

What does evolution care about death, does it actually know what death is, if not someone should tell it about death.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
