God created everything, but he didn't create diseases/cancer etc because these aren't "things".
So we end up with both the claim that everything must have been designed due to blah blah blah, followed by "except all the bad bits which weren't designed".
Interestingly enough, the Bible itself says this is not the case:
Isaiah 45:7:
I form the light and create darkness,
I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the Lord, do all these things.
Evil is not the absence of good, and darkness is not the absence of light. Most importantly, God says he created it all.
