Could God have created a world in which there is less hunger and disease, and fewer tornados?

Any god that actually existed would have.

He actually DID create a better world. It was called Eden.
Since the day he placed Man in that Garden is when it all went down hill. Man comes with this thing called FreeWill. And since we aren't perfect, Man makes mistakes. All of the world's history comes from Man's mistakes...and triumphs.
I mean, you don't ever hear about the war of the Tortoise and the Turtle for the dominate amphibian species, do you? OR that the deer had built a thriving civilization in the northern tundra?
Don't blame God. He's got everything under control.

Yes he could have, but this way it makes more sense. The world is not about fun, but about learning, purification, and payback. And these are painful. But without getting rid of what is negative in humanity, the world would be forever ignorant and evil. So God chose short term negative experiences to create a lasting world of happiness on the other side, and for all those who genuinely seek the truth in their hearts.

He did! He created a world with total protection and provision for Adam and Eve, but they chose to disobey God.

The fact your forgetting is that He did. He created a perfect world, Eden. The sins of man ruined it. Its our fault the world is in the shape it is now, not Gods. The Good News is that it will be restored. Paradise will be renewed, and for those of faith, it will a true paradise.

If he existed he could have and probably would have. If he was as good as Christians would have us believe he certainly would have.
But ponder if he created man in his own likeness - it does not say much good for him does it? Thank goodness the majority of mankind are not Christians and have moved on to become far more tolerant, peace loving and wise than the Christians!!

God created exactly the world He wanted to. He also could have created any world that He wanted to, instantaneously.

He did but leave it to man to screw it up. The world is our domain but when you want to deviate from the rule book, it becomes a mess. And let me remind you, it is getting worse by the day.

He did, but disobedience and sin screwed the whole thing up.
