When Adam sinned he gave God a choice: destroy Adam at that moment, or distance Himself from Adam and work on a plan to save him.
God’s presence in this world is limited to those who are justified through the means God provides. Otherwise, the just and good God would need to deal with evil by destroying the evildoer rather than give him the opportunity to repent and find life.
This limited presence of God allows some evil in such forms as natural disasters to avoid condemning men before they can repent.

That’s an interesting take on it.
