John Rutter is able to turn his pain into music which glorifies God in His creation and lifts men's spirits.
Darwin turned on God and did irreparable damage to His glory in creation and men's faith.
Both lost a child.
'The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Romans 1: 18-23
Suffering brings out the 'antagonism at the heart of the world'.
