Where do you think evil and suffering came from and how God could do or allow something like that?
Have you read Genesis 3 and heard what the Bible says about evil and suffering?

Evil and suffering came about in the Garden of Eden, when the serpent satan tempted Eve, who then successfully tempted Adam to sin. God doesn't like sin, but He allows it, for reasons that He alone gets to know.

Evil and suffering are the result of mankind choosing to follow their own self will rather than the express will of God. Because of Adam’s choice to sin, we are all born with a sin nature (Romans 5:12). There will one day come a time when God will judge the sin in this world and make all things new, but He is purposely “delaying” in order to allow more time for people to repent so that He will not need to condemn them (2 Peter 3:9). Until then, He IS concerned about evil. When He created the Old Testament laws, the goal was to discourage and punish evil. He judges nations and rulers who disregard justice and pursue evil. Likewise, in the New Testament, God states that it is the government’s responsibility to provide justice in order to protect the innocent from evil (Romans 13). He also promises severe consequences for those who commit evil acts, especially against the "innocent" (Mark 9:36-42). https://www.gotquestions.org/God-allow-evil.html

Cancer...Satan wanted power that was not his and his sin of pride spread like cancer. Eve was infected then she tempted Adam who also fell to the disease of sin and pride. Then it grew like a tumor....good cells turned crooked and greedy.
