Quote by: freefallife  Your argument asserts that earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, flood, cancer and disease are all a product of free will. It holds that due to Adam and eve's sin, millions die each year of diseases, that millions starve because of drought caused famine, that mothers give birth to deformed children doomed to a life of pain. |
Yes.

Quote by: freefallife Furthermore it puts a restriction upon god with no support in claiming that god did NOT create everything in the universe. Its really quite simple:
1. God created everything in the universe (premise)
2. Evil exists in the universe (premise)
3. God created evil (conclusion) |
I contest the wording of your first premise. God created all matter, energy, life, and goodness - the substance of the universe. Evil is not a substance, but a skewing of or lack of something that God has given us (physical and moral evil, respectively). As an analogy, my computer is made up entirely of matter that was created by God - but nowhere are we lead to believe that God created computers whole and complete, as they are. He simply created us with the ability to create them using the materials He made.
