Page 2 first paragraph: "we know- just as God knows- that every action successfully performed must in the end be good and therefore the right thing to do, otherwise, God would not have allowed it to happen." It doesn't explain why the baby died, it just says there's a reason in the future, but this is dependent on the belief that God is good.

Mountain climbers and skydivers experience GPE. You explained that GPE = (mass) (gravity) (height), and I agree with you that formula is correct. You then gave an even better explanation using someone on top of Mount Everest, and you said that the person's GPE was 7,370,384 J which is calculated from the height which is 8848 x the force 9.8 x 85 which is his mass. The GPE calculation is also different from someone on a ground since they have a different height.
