Why does a parent let their children play in the park together even knowing that the child can get hurt or worse kidnapped?
Because the parent allows the child to have free will, even if they make a choice and ends up hurting them or one another.
Intelligent design doesn't have to infringe upon the concept that we have choice in the end. Just because "god loves you" doesn't mean you'll be sheltered from all harm...same as a parent might love their child 100% and unconditionally but would still let their child grow up and make decisions for themselves, even if they don't agree with them.
