The Christian Story says that the Creator-God did not sit back and shrug. Instead, speaking anthropomorphically, (S)He is deeply grieved, even distressed, and even angry.

This is called “natural consequences”, and it applies in both the physical and metaphysical realm. It also comes as a legal requirement.
