Okay, I get that. However, that doesn't answer my question. Why does a benevolent God, a merciful God, allow babies to get cancer and die? What defect do they have that means God is happy to sit back and let them suffer in horrendous agony?
If God is punishing people because of what Adam & Eve did, which was millions of years ago at the very least, then that's a pretty sh*tty thing to be doing, isn't it?
