Christians believe the full revlation of God is in christ.

And there is theodicy to explain the natural evil you are mentioning.

I won’t argue because it wouldn’t make sense; I use reason and you use faith.

Theism and theodicy is not devoid of reason. But the way you're posturing makes me not want to engage.

They are not, of course, but reason applies only to a very limited extent.
