God set it up and is watching it play out in a most disinterested fashion.

He is not disinterested, but when He gave mankind free will He decided on certain policies for Himself. To use a crude analogy, if you sit down with a deck of cards (as distinct from a PC) to play Freecell, you will have considerable flexibility in deciding how to play the cards, but you will also be subject to certain constraints. If you were to arbitrarily decide to put the Six of Diamonds on top of the Nine of Hearts, the Freecell police wouldn't swarm in and arrest you, but nothing you could do would change the fact that you were no longer playing Freecell.

If God were willing to intervene whenever mankind got in trouble, that would effectively negate his gift of freewill. Mankind's achievements or lack thereof would cease to be a function of mankind's decisions, but would instead become entirely a function of God's. That would be a far bigger tragedy than almost anything mankind could do to itself.
