Why did God create a world where babies are killed?

[Richard_Powers]

Why do bad things happen to little babies and children? Why did God create a world in which babies will be killed by earthquakes, floods, disease, etc. A friend told me that it is because of man’s fall. But things like earthquakes and floods have been around since before man even evolved? Why did God create such a universe if God loves humans? Is that idea that God is love wrong?

Please don’t say it is just a mystery.
