Seriously, what sort of deity builds hell into the universe as if it were a cool add-on? You are arguing for a sane and competent deity here, yes?
The same kind that made this world a meat grinder full of heterotrophs..even though it could clearly magic autotrophs into being. This is why natural theology failed christianity. The natural world suggests things about a hypothetical god what created it which none of the faithful are willing to accept.
Even our autotrophs are black-hearted murderers. Look for any spot in the forest where an old tree has fallen and watch the saplings strangle each other in their race for the top.
