look at us humans. I rest my case... There are many answers to why evil exists
I said that more or less as a joke. And I wasn't necessarily referring to evil, but, now that you mention... I was thinking more to an imperfect world from a human perspective. For instance humans live to be about 120 years old. However, Most animals’ bodies do not gradually degenerate as they get older the way our bodies do. But for humans once they reach about age of 30 their chance of dying doubles roughly every eight years. That's not true for animals.
I appreciate it then! It's hard to get to know a person online so as to be able to tell the intended intonations. That particular one gets around because Christians have argued theodicy for many years (the vindication of God in allowing evil) while atheists have argued nihilism for many years (evil and God are irreconcilable therefore neither is meaningful). But both that and maya are secondary IMHO. The way threaded conversations work, sometimes we get into multiple branches, and right now I'm still looking at this link as the main branch. Also an interesting aside:

We do have a unique curse on us. Having looked into this before, I was going to question your math, but you seem to have it close enough not to quibble. The usual measurement is risk of dying in the next year, which at 30 is about 1/1000 and at 110 is about 1/2. But there's another fascinating phenomenon, namely that it's not fully exponential but begins to taper off after around 70-90, where tapering means the risk begins to plateau and essentially ceases to increase. You still have a high risk of death but it doesn't get any riskier after a point approximately at 110. That means that for some people, every day they live their life expectancy goes up by a full day. That encourages me to aspire that every day I live I increase my life expectancy by a full day or more (some days it's doable).
But that's all to say we have uncountable rabbit trails. I do have a tendency of redirecting people to whether they have made a personal commitment to truth because the nature of their commitment helps me understand how to approach disputable topics. Thanks!

The theory of everything, this is a deep rabbit hole. Meantime take a look at "Are We Living in a Brahma's Simulation? The Hindu Maya Theory Explained".
