I think it is related to the problem of evil, but I'm not exactly sure how right now. I do think that God regrets creating Hitler. If God doesn't then I see no solution to the problem of evil at all, apart from simply denying it exists.
What I'm trying to do is think about our decision to create, metaphysically, to see what the implications are for the ethics of abortion.

Perhaps I am confused but I thought the author was saying that people are random happening with no input from god. If that’s the case (which I belive it is) then the existence of Hitler and all the Hitler’s still to come are just a product of the environment in which they were raised.
