Now Job's friends put God on trial in some of there statements, saying God wouldn't do this or would do that. But in the End, God shows that he is still judge, creator and ruler of the earth and that no one can comprehend his actions (Job 38-the end).

I think for the Judeo-Christian God, this is a good example of suffering and a test of faith and even God's response to it.
I belive this is equal to saying we don't know and have no answer for the question. If no one can comprehend God's actions then they are irrelevant. I personally think that it happens because it can happen. What God provides is the opportunity to live enjoy and suffer. Of course this would be the same if there was no God. Possibility brings sometimes bad results because if you didn't have the Possibility you wouldn't be anyway. I would say God is all contingencies and Possibility, the ultimate rememberer and experiencer(Are those even words?).

Maybe it's like lottery, when God created human he has this huge gene pool that he can choose genes from and he draws randomly and he just puts them together like Lego and occasionally there are combonations that will turn out bad and that's how it is. Haha just my guess :P
