Why can't most religious leaders explain why there is so much wickedness, suffering and death?

Most religious leaders do not know the answer themselves, even though many have spent many years in Theological Schools of Thought. Yet the Bible gives the simple and clear answer to my question. No doubt many others have asked that same question in their heart and mind and even audibly.

Many blame God for all of our suffering and death that grips mankind. Even some clergymen blame God for the death of a loved one. But is that truly the case? No. James 1:13 says:

"When under trial, let no one say: 'I am being tried by God,' For with EVIL THINGS God cannot be tried, nor does He Himself try anyone.'"
So the question is how did mankind get to this point of escalation of terrible conditions? Romans 5:12 says:

"That is why, just as through one man [Adam], sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned."

Death is the wages of sin. Mankind certainly is not sin free. God gave us a work around his absolute law. John 3:16.
@TexChik Thank you for your reply. And yes I absolutely agree with you. God's law is for us to have and exercise faith in His son, Jesus Christ. And the benefit of doing so is everlasting life.

Show me that scripture
@SW-User Please read the whole chapter of Genesis chapter 3 of the first book of the Bible. Please also read Romans 5:12
