It is not God that kills babies..... he does let it happen, he gives All of us free will with no strings on what we can decide. Some people make the choice to kill babies, or it is just their time. I struggled with that very question several years ago, and I am a christian.... I know it is hard, but we are all given free will and the freedom to make our own choices..... Some people make choices that hurt others and even kill um at times. That is the doing of man/woman not God. He just does not always step in. If he always stepped in then we would not have free wil. He wants us to choose him, and to make the right decisions. Not all of us do, and we all make bad decisions here and there. Some are just worst then others.

"He" didnt, God is a concept created by humans to explain what they can't explain. Most people don't accept we are merely animals with greater intellect, and the ability to create things in our environment. Don't blame some diety, dieties don't exist.

People entertain many misconceptions about destiny, especially when death is the issue. Nonsensical ideas, e.g. that one may “defeat one's destiny” or “change one’s destiny” are prevalent. Deeming their expectations and assumptions to be destiny, some unintelligent and ignorant people believe it is destiny that changes when events do not proceed as they anticipate or predict. They assume an unwise attitude and act as if they have read destiny beforehand and events have not proceeded in line with what they have read. Such a distorted and inconsistent rationale is surely the product of a narrow mind bereft of an adequate understanding of destiny.
Destiny is God's perfect creation of all events past and future in timelessness. God is the One who creates the concepts of time and space from nothing, Who keeps time and space under His control and Who is not bound by them. The sequence of events which was experienced in the past or which will be experienced in the future is, moment by moment, planned and created in the sight of God.
God creates time, thus He is not bound by it. Accordingly, that He follows the events He Himself created together with the ones He created is implausible. In this context, there is no need to say that God does not wait to see how events come to an end. In His sight, both the beginning and end of an event are plain. Similarly, there is no doubt about where this event is situated on the plane of eternity. Everything has already taken place and finished. This is similar to the images on a film-strip; just as the images on a film cannot exercise any influence on the film and change it, human beings who play their individual roles in life cannot influence the flow of events recorded on the destiny-strip. Human beings have no influence whatsoever on destiny. Just the contrary, it is destiny which is the determining factor in people’s lives.
Man, an absolute component of destiny, is not separate and independent from it. Let alone changing destiny, man is unable to go beyond the boundaries of destiny. For a better understanding, we can draw a parallel between a man and an actor in a film. The actor cannot slip out of the film, acquire a physical existence and start making changes in the film by deleting unfavourable scenes or adding some new ones. This would surely be an irrational suggestion.
Consequently, notions of defeating destiny or diverting the flow of events are sheer fallacy. One who says: “I defeated my destiny.” is only deceiving himself—and the fact that he does so is a matter of his destiny.
A person may remain in coma for days. It may seem unlikely that he will revive. Yet, if he does recover, this does not mean that “he defeated his fate” or “doctors changed his fate.” This is simply an indication that his time is not yet over. His recovery is nothing but a component of his own ineluctable fate. His fate is like that of all other human beings determined in the Sight of God.
… And no living thing lives long or has its life cut short without that being in a Book. That is easy for God. The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 35,Verse 11
Our Prophet (pbuh) said the following to a believer who was praying to God to enable her to derive benefit from her loved ones: You have asked from God about durations of life already set, and the length of days already allotted and the sustenances the share of which has been fixed. God would not do anything earlier before its due time, or He would not delay anything beyond its due time. (Book 33, Number 6438, Sahih Muslim)
Such incidents are the means by which God displays to man the endless intelligence, wisdom, variety and blessing inherent in His creation and the way He puts man to the test. Such variety adds to the appreciation, amazement and, ultimately, to people’s faith. In disbelievers, however, they produce sensations somewhere between uncertainty, astonishment and perversion which, owing to their ignorant mentality, makes them assume a more rebellious attitude towards God. Meanwhile, awareness of such a heedless outlook on the part of disbelievers, makes believers feel more grateful to God for allowing them to have faith and wisdom, which makes them superior to disbelievers.
According to another piece of received wisdom, the death of a person dying in his 80s is “destiny” whereas the death of a baby, a young or a middle-aged man is a “dire event.” To be able to accept death as a natural phenomenon, they try to make death fit their established criteria. Thus after a long and severe illness, death seems acceptable while, death by a sudden sickness or accident is an untimely disaster! That is why they often meet death in a rebellious spirit. Such a stance is a clear sign of being bereft of an ultimate faith in destiny, and consequently in God. Those nurturing such a frame of mind will be doomed to live in constant grief and trouble in this life. This is actually the beginning of the eternal torment which results from being faithless.

He did that so they'd go straight to heaven, and skip all the pain and misery associated with being human
for 70 + years.

Crack open your Bible and you're going to start feeling real uncomfortable real quick. God's justice is not our justice.
