Seriously? That's the best explanation you can think of for why killing and suffering happens without some kind of intervention? Because I can think of a far simpler one.
Few things here:
- Man is reaping the results of rebelling and not wanting to obey Him.
- God warned that suffering is a result of sin, no surprises here.
- God has intervened, the bigger problem has been solved, the price of sin has been paid for in full!
- God is coming back and will end sin once and for all
- Why the delay? To give sinful man a chance to repent, thus my urging for you to get in the ark
- Why do kids suffer? God gave a grave warning to those who harm children, God instructed us to love our enemies, God told us to care for the poor - if we were obedient no kid would be harmed

I see you're also unwilling to consider my question. Holy christ, look at you, turning out to be an actual human being after all - and right in front of my eyes. I knew you had it in you.
God became flesh and suffered like no man has ever so He understands suffering completely.
"- Man is reaping the results of rebelling and not wanting to obey Him."
Yeah but who wants to obey a celestial dictator who loves genocide, human sacrifice, slavery and suffering, but hates women?
"- God warned that suffering is a result of sin, no surprises here."
And the apparent origin of "sin" is an all knowing deity who created the universe but put the one forbidden tree in reach of humans and couldn't apparently keep a single snake out
"- God has intervened, the bigger problem has been solved, the price of sin has been paid for in full!"
Always the claims. We have thousands of years of human wars and suffering but the only intervention, according to your own little book, is destroying whole cities because the people have free will but don't live the way he wanted and acts of genocide.
- God is coming back and will end sin once and for all"
"God" has supposedly been coming back for over two thousand years. Is he stuck in traffic?
-" Why the delay? To give sinful man a chance to repent, thus my urging for you to get in the ark"
Why the delay? Perhaps because your sky wizard is fictional?
"- Why do kids suffer? God gave a grave warning to those who harm children, God instructed us to love our enemies, God told us to care for the poor - if we were obedient no kid would be harmed"
And yet you'll then scream free will. Hypocrisy of the religious mind knows no bounds.
