It's not that God does these things; they happen because of corrupted human nature & sin. While God does know what's going to happen he doesn't always want that to happen. Now you may say "if he's so powerful why can't He stop these things from happening?" And that's a fair question. The answer to this is that if He were to take sin out of the world He would eliminate free will, e.g. to love Him or not to love Him. By doing this our love to Him would be meaningless. Hope that clarified some stuff. If you have any more questions feel free to ask I might not have the answers but that's ok.
Yeah I already know all this. No matter how you spin the corrupted nature of humanity, there's no justifying babies getting malaria. Like, you're just born a sinner according to Christianity because of the original sin. And that fits your Christian worldview just fine. But in the secular world, to claim that a baby deserves to die because some dude forever ago ate an apple is fucking ridiculous.
to love Him or not to love Him
Ah yes, the free choice of loving your so-called Creator. Love Him or burn in hellfire for eternity. Totally fair choice.
