No. Adam and eve the first people to roam the earth ate fruit from a tree that was bad 4 them because it got them to know what was bad and good and they ate from the tree after god told them not to and the devil got eve to eat an apple from the tree and she gave 1 to Adam to and that is how it all started.

God was the cause of evil!Why? God had foreseen what Adam and Eve would do before He made them. He could have spared making Adam and Eve and, instead, made Steve and Mary who God foresaw would not eat the forbidden fruits.

You could argue that Steve and Mary would also eat the fruits. But God had an infinite number of alternatives in His head. If all of them would eat, then God were unable to make a couple that would choose not to eat. This contradicts the Christian doctrine that God is omnipotent.

Where did Satan get his powers from if God never gave it to Satan?

In Isaiah 45:7 it says that God created evil. But it doesn't say that God does evil in anywhere I looked . God could create evil things but it doesn't say that God makes you do evil. It's like God created the choices to do good or to do evil . It does say that God makes you do evil things. But you can say I'm looking for it. You could say that God created the powers of evil that Satan choose to use but God never forced Satan to use those evil powers.

Why do evil and suffering cause some people to reject belief in God?

Some people struggle to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with the idea of a benevolent and all-powerful God. This can lead them to question or reject their belief in God's existence, as they see these things as incompatible. The presence of evil and suffering in the world can challenge their faith and raise existential doubts about the nature of God.
