William Dembski, in The End of Christianity, argues that the fall of man is responsible for evil that happened prior to the Fall. He does this by showing that present events can have retroactive causality, thus influencing past events.
As wild as this may sound, the idea of retroactive causality is "gaining ground. A succession of quantum experiments confirm its predictions—showing, bafflingly, that measurements performed in the future can influence results that happened before those measurements were ever made."
