Abstract

This article examines the theological question of whether all creation truly comes from God, a topic that remains central to Christian doctrinal discourse. It explores classical and contemporary perspectives on divine creation, the problem of evil, and the relationship between God, nature, and human freedom. Using qualitative, literature-based methods, the paper analyzes biblical texts, systematic theology, and modern scientific debates to identify coherences between God's goodness and the presence of suffering in creation. These findings demonstrate that creation is inherently good, yet affected by the fall of humanity, and that Christian theology affirms God as both Creator and Sustainer. This study offers theoretical enrichment and contributes to a deeper understanding of contemporary creation theology
