Followers of Jesus stake their claim on the firm belief that God will one day heal the planet of pain and death. Until that day arrives, the case against God must rely on incomplete evidence. We cannot really reconcile our pain-wracked world with a loving God because what we experience now is not the same as what God intends. Jesus himself prayed that God’s will “be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” a prayer that will not be fully answered until evil and suffering are finally defeated.
