A modern theodicy based on noise Leibniz developed a theodicy based on his two logics of necessity and contingency, where contingency or lack of order is responsible for the sometimes chaotic nature of life down here. Even so, Leibniz said, since God is good, he made the best world possible from all of the choices he had.
Reflecting on this, it appears to me that evil and suffering are just noise in an imperfect universe. Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (ret.)
