Why did God create infectious diseases, cancer, and parasites?
>the fall o algo
God knew it would happen and that billions of humans would die of these causes throughout history and end up damned.

You have failed to comprehend the overarching idea behind all these omnipotent God religions. It's not about asking "Why thing is" but it's about saying, "There is someone smarter than me, and His Name is God, and He knows why, and everything is Good overall and the bad things are just smaller part of the bigger picture." Lol.

Challenges allow for a triumphant moral overcoming which allows man to understand the reasons for goodness in and of themselves. Without challenges whatsoever, then man may be good, but only in an inferior way, as he's not good for goodness' sake but simply by happenstance that there is no opportunity to be otherwise.

Trying to get an answer that accounts for omniscience is something akin to a category error. You are trying to understand a perspective that is not just quantitatively, but qualitatively irreconcilable with yours - it's not just that God happens to know a complete set of existing facts, it's that he is looking from a perspective where they can all be seen, evaluated and connected at the same time. We will never achieve that perspective and it's pointless to try and bridge it with any degree of accuracy.

The only "answer" to sicknesses that historically worked to bridge God's infinite perspective with our finite one is the narrative of the Fall. If you want to go meta on it and import into the story the fact that God is outside the flow of time, that is your right. But you're abandoning a decent meal hoping to stumble into a feast. And brother, we're in a desert.

The Universe is a sphere of existence inside an infinity of nothingness, non-existence. But inside this sphere, this Universe, there is Life AND Death, Joy AND Suffering. This whole universe is God. It is in you and you are part of it at the same time. It is the beginning and the end. The alpha and the omega. God is not there to hold you hand. You exist and are conscious of your actions and aware. You are responsible for your actions.

Not for mankind, but God (Colossians 1:16)

Humans are suffering in this world to wake them up and show them their need of Jesus Christ, because God doesn't want them in Hell, which is worse than whatever happens on earth. Despite horrible conditions on earth, humans assume that God is pleased with them, but the truth is that if you refuse to come to the knowledge of the truth by rejecting Christ you will remain to be condemned and will suffer, and eventually it will be too late to accept God's free offer of salvation. By suffering, humans are seeing the result of sin firsthand, and put into a situation where they have to choose; do they continue to reject God, refusing to accept that what they are witnessing is bad and evil, particularly they themselves, or do they accept that they are a sinner that needs to be saved by the method how God decides, not man.

As long as you think you're good in your pride, you won't accept you're evil. Humans suffer to prove them they're not right with God.

Salvation is by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9, given by God, Romans 10:8 & 17) only in the one, final, effectual sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:8-12) dying in your place (1 Cor. 15:3-4) as a substitutionary offering for sin (Rom. 5:1-10). His blood atonement made for you is finished, so if you have received the Lord Jesus by faith (John 1:12) in your heart, you're forgiven of all your sins and are saved, once for all; finally and forever! (Rom. 8:38-39, Rom 4:5)

Rom. 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

You could pray like this if you truly want to accept the gift of salvation: "Dear God, I repent as a sinner who wants to be saved from hell. I believe Jesus is God who died, was buried and resurrected so that his blood can wash away my sins. I only trust in that alone to save me, not my good works. I pray in the holy name of Jesus, Amen."

>If all of creation is to the benefit of mankind
that's where you are wrong, creation is to glorify G-D, not to please or serve man
man is the one meant to serve
