If that's what you meant, then I would just respond by repeating what I said about something else earlier in this thread, that when God takes a life it's not murder because He is the Author of life and is the only one with the unique right to do so. For humans it's murder because we are taking a life that is not ours to take

But how can He know all those little babies will turn out to be bad people? Or bad leaders? Even if He did, why couldnt he have prevented the Holocaust and Hitler or Stalin from being born?
If God is creating and destroying continually, what is the big picture here? Why is he doing that? What is the true purpose or meaning? Does the end justify the means? Is there an end if He just ends up destroying most of what He creates?

I meant predestination like fate. God knows how each of our paths will lead without us knowing it. It’s that annoying little prase some people use to make you feel better - “Everything happens for a purpose”
