He kinda dodged the question of why God allows evil. This question was taken head on by CS Lewis in “The Problem of Pain” though. I recomend it to those trying to reconcile Christian theology with the pain and suffering God allows in the world.

Here is the problem. That word “allows”. When examined closely, as Ravi Zacharias states, all the evil in this world comes from the heart of man. Not God. God does not “allow” it, mankind is hell bent on providing it.

There is no final resolution to the problem of evil short of the Last Judgement. Our finite perspective is so limited we lack the vision to comment on it.

The book of Job makes this clear.
