To think God would create a world where nothing bad happens is the most naive way to think

Beautiful!! And yes, we would never learn a thing if everything was perfect all the time.

Wow this is great.
The bad is what man has done and created. He is and has created his own demise. But people blame it on God. What God created was good, man is corrupt.

As a non-theist, non-dualist Buddhist, I agree with the OP in my own way.

That there is [i]something[/i] rather than nothing speaks to me of ultimate meaning, purpose, significance. Rather than an ultimately meaningless virtually random swirling of atoms - or whatever the latest smallest particle is. Where the only meaning is the projection of it onto a meaningless external reality by a consciousness that is alone in the Cosmos, yet one that thrives on finding meaning.

Meaning is inherent to Reality.

Very much from all my own explorations support this.

God did create a world where nothing bad happened.. But He also made a world where people could bring about a world where bad things would happen.. Human beings decided to follow the path that ended up in them experiencing suffering.. And so it goes until God brings about the redemption of His create and restores all things to perfection..

Sure, and if you think further to what some nowadays label "good" to be then you'll end up in a hell of man's making too. I mean, God created the world but I do hope that it will never end up. to be to our own norms and tastes of the day

In order for humans to perceive the true meaning of good, there must be the opposite of good.

After the fall, God placed us in THIS world, where we were no longer protected or shielded from all harm.

THIS is a world of vicious predators, and only by being tough and canny will we survive it, OR, conversely, by camouflaging ourselves well. IF we are good at surviving, we have the peace and safety required to contemplate spiritual matters.

Those who survive evil in this world will often grow to greater heights spiritually, and the light within them will become much brighter.

that would be boring.
so he gave us free will instead..

Or that the world was already here and people invented God and the creation narrative trying to explain how it came to be.

Think about that.

The Abrahamic God is a douche if he was real.
Think about it. Humans were immortal but expected to remain dolts eternally by not eating from the fruit of knowledge. Yahweh literally lied when he told them it would kill them. So they ate the fruit, don't, well dang, suddenly Yahweh feels threatened, because if they have eternal life they'll be just as powerful as him. So he makes them mortal and casts them out to fend for themselves.
