To me that seems like an incomplete explanation that ignores the hard part of the problem it’s trying to satisfy.

It’s easy to explain the suffering that can happen during one’s life as part of a wider experience which ultimately ends up being good, when the examples are adults with a range of experience and agency over their situation.

It’s less easy to explain why a good god has created an existence where a young child who doesn’t yet have agency over their existence contracts and dies of smallpox. Or is brutally raped and murdered. Or…

What’s the point of that exactly?
