This seems to be a common reply to those who reject God and don't have an answer to perplexing questions. "We don't yet but we are working on it." The problem is that the answer is, "God."
Fair enough. I've come up with some perplexing questions to which 'God' is a better answer than 'We're working on it':
1. Why, even with the healthiest of parents, are some infants born with birth defects so severe that they die within minutes or hours of birth? Preferred answer: God.
2. Why are old ladies so often robbed and beaten for their pension money? Preferred answer: God.
3. How is it possible, given the vast advances in agricultural and food distribution technologies, that so much of the world's population hovers between malnutrition and starvation? Preferred answer: God.
4. Why does the genital butchery known as female circumcision continue to be practiced? Preferred answer: God.
Any others?

#1 - welcome to a world that we chose by rebelling and introducing sin, chaos, unfairness, and disorder
#2 - Thou shalt not steal. Disobey?
#3 - The reason for starvation in the world is poverty. If the 1% of the world's wealthiest gave a mere fraction or a fraction of their wealth to feeding the world's hungry there would be no problem here. The problem here is not God who gave us a planet that easily can produce enough food for everyone, but greed.

#4 - When did God ever tell us to do that? He said be fruitful and multiply
