Evil and suffering

Hello!
Currently writing an essay on why God can allow suffering in the world as a part of an apologetics unit and starting to hit a dead end for points
Don't suppose anyone has any ideas on what might be good to include

Thanks!

Look up Alvin Plantinga's free will defence in his 1977 book, God, Freedom, and Evil. He is widely regarded as having the go-to answer to the problem of evil for apologetics.

Right if he's well loved by all Christians. And I know from experience how hard that can be. If he doesn't let a few million people suffer and die then he would get no thing done. Say it was a person and a few thousand died then that would be equal and a bit of toughness or hardship won't hurt anyone even if that means running over a cyclist.
