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

I am sure God could have created a life with only good. It would be like always winning. Then what meaning does winning really have. And even consider that in tragedy often great things come out of it. Not that I am saying it's good. But there is more to think about in this area

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..

@Adstar Natural evils "happened" long before any human "sin". And who was the first to follow the wrong path? Cro-Magnon man? Neaderthals?

But yes, "restoration" is a blessed hope.

All the best.

@SW-User Nothing bad happened to the first created people Adam and Eve untill after they had taken from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.. Only after that where they subject to the suffering of the world and also the suffering they would cause themselves and others.

@Adstar Adam and Eve are mythical.

@SW-User That is your personal opinion.. Not a statement of actual fact..

SW-User

@Adstar They were mythical.

We shall have to disagree.
