This whole list can be lumped into one category, regarding creationism as believed by Christians:

Why would a loving God allow so much suffering in the world?

And the answer is simple and covered in a book by C. S. Lewis called The Problem of Pain, among other publications.

The Bible covers it too. A good example is morning sickness. God told Eve that childbirth would be “painful” yet she would still be horny. ;)

That question might interest you, but a biologist would ask a different question:

Why do so many features in living things look like the result of small, incremental changes?
