Indeed. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Now though, the question is, why does God allow any disorder to happen? Why does God allow childhood cancer to happen? And other serious diseases to happen to innocent children and animals? And extremely painful ones too? And childhood cancer existed in the past before pain medicine was allowed as well?
So I guess your answer is it is, indeed, an unknown reason. You say he must have a good reason. Well... I am not convinced. I really think if the God of the Bible exists he's not as good as he or the Bible claims him to be. Or at least not as competent as it is claimed that he is. Either his powers are a lot more limited than they're claimed to be, or he's not a good God. Or both.
Or he doesn't exist.
I'm only a little human living in a tiny part of the universe for a tiny amount of time, in the face of all eternity. All I can see is the here and now, this tiny portion, not even close to the big picture. I'm not going to presume to know better than a being who can see everything. It makes sense logically, but I understand how hard it is to accept, emotionally. Especially when going through very difficult times.
But you do presume that such a being has a good reason for allowing awful things to happen to innocent children and animals.
