Why would your god design a baby to die before it has a chance to develop enough to make its own decisions and to love him? For example miscarriages.
Don't twist my words. God can choose to punish down the generations due to bad leadership of parents. It is all due to the fall of man and sin. Or, God can use the defective child to accomplish amazing feats and give all glory to God as God gives glory back to the person. It is like a good leader and good follower. The follower gives praise to his leader while the leader gives praise to his follower.
Because of sin and the fall of man there are imperfections in this world like I said previously. That is the reason for all the problems in this world and death and suffering itself.
I did not twist your words. This is precisely what you are saying to me.

But OK let's ask more questions.
Why does your god punish innocent babies with birth defects because of the actions of its parents?
How does a baby with a birth defect add to your god's glory?
Does a baby or fetus have free will?
