There is a difference between pain and suffering, and as humans, we tend to conflate the two. Usually, when we see someone in pain, we tend to automatically think that person is suffering, and we ourselves suffer in a kind of emotional contagion effect. (Sociopaths notwithstanding). This is going to open up some interesting things, and I think really help our human civilization to understand more about ourselves: what it means to be empathic; what really is pain and suffering. For creationists, it brings up a very interesting (as in, uncomfortable) question: why was pain created in the first place?
