Surely, a god (which ever religion) who created the whole universe and made it possible for life to exist wouldnt have a problem in making it possible for all people (and animals) to be born without any life destroying and complicating illness' or defects.
If the barbarian nomads who imagined god could compose psalms 137:9 to celebrate the dashing out of innocent babys' brains against rocks (Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones), how could god to be asked to prevent babies from being born without heads?
Can you try that again? Im not sure what it is you're saying. Cheers.
Would it help if I changed the highlighted sentence to:
how could god they imagined to be asked to prevent babies from being born without heads
