Science doesn't "let" it happen. Science tries to prevent it. Same with the spread of disease, deaths through natural disasters, etc, etc.
The point is, your God (i.e. the God of Christianity) is believed by many to be very powerful and to answer prayers, interfere with this universe in order to do miracles. Either you are sensible and accept that this simply cannot happen without causing other problems (such as the famous "why won't god heal amputees?" remark), or you believe in a God that can interfere and end up with such problems of the amputees and the baby getting eaten alive.
It seems very clear to me that if God is "loving", he is incapable of showing it through actions in our universe. A God that doesn't have power over something he created (and which is less than him) isn't a being that makes much sense to me. It is easier for me to come to terms with a God who hates his creation (or simply doesn't care / doesn't see humanity as anything special) or one that simply does not exist at all.
