I think he meant that if there was a God then he would not let us struggle. Yet I think he is incorrect because if God did not let us struggle then we would never learn.

Answer:

Since the commencement of western idea, various savants and incredible scholars have battled with what is known as The Problem of Evil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Various compelling logicians have set the contrariness between the presence of God and the presence of shrewdness. Various theists have protected their concurrence.

Previous Oxford teacher of Philosophy J.L Mackie berated the theist by endeavouring to uncover their contentions as invalid and unpersuasive.
