What would God say to Richard Dawkins if he asked why is there so much pain and suffering? This is a legitimit question I have heard him ask a number of times in various debates and interviews. This is a very troubling question and I have heard a number of possible answers. Some of the answers given are a joke while others are great logically but leave something wanting in the emotional aspects.

 I would often think that if Richard Dawkins was standing before God and asked Him, "Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?" Would God answer like He did with Job and say who the heck are you to question the Creator of the Universe. To which I could see Dawkins actually say to God, you didn't answer my question. Dawkins has stated before that this is one of his major issues against the existence of God.
 
What do you think God's answer would be?
[I will post my response after others have commented.]
