Anyone who's religious care to explain child mortality?


"Despite progress over the past two decades, in 2018 alone, an estimated 6.2 million children and young adolescents under age 15 died, mostly from preventable causes."

I keep meaning to ask the people that come knocking at my door wanting to read a Bible passage.

You can't prove there isn't a god.
But you can't prove there isn't a tooth fairy either.

I'm more interested in my OP though?
 
Here's quite a good an explanation, which seems to come down to a combination of original sin and free will.

But turn your question on its head, why would/should God give Children special dispensation to the natural order of things (disease, human intervention, natural laws) to basically make them indestructible and at what age do you set it so that they lose this protection and become vulnerable to death again?

It is an imperfect world.

Because,

Original Sin.

Happy Christmass.

God helps those who help themselves, some people make bad choices because of their own free will and it impacts on others. Doesn't explain birth defects in many cases though.
