Karl Giberson explores how responsible God must be for any suffering He “allowed” while creating living organisms via evolution.
I allow my children to drive my car by themselves. If they run down a pedestrian, did I allow that? God allows gravity to function in a regular way. If a tree falls on my head, did God allow that? … The world may very well be such that saying “God allows” is not an accurate description of the freedom that exists in nature.
