Good question. But does that prove God doesnβt exist or that our mental model might be wrong?
My person view: I believe that God gave us free choice.. Free to choose him or deny him. free to choose good or evil. Because he wants to have a real relationship with us, not a slave or a robot.
If God prevented me from slapping you to protect you from harm, would I have free will?
But even though bad things happen, βwe know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.β
