This world isn't even close to the best possible world by reference to states of affairs -in- this world. Don't be obtuse for jesus, just because you can't coherently answer for what the creature you worship is supposed to have done.
Your unwillingness to answer it is not an indication that the question is unanswerable, by any stretch - and your very belief in christian mythology is acknowledgement that this world as it is could be qualitatively improved.
I've got a real..real simple answer, assuming a god. This was just the best that he had in him. NBD, for him, anyway. Happens to us all the time too. The issue, properly, isn't god's..but your need for a god to be what nothing in it;s alleged creation would suggest.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
