freefallife,
You are either consistently failing to understand what I and others have been saying, or are consistently ignoring it.

I can keep this very simple. Suppose I make a window. I put it in the side of my house, knowing full well that someone could break it. Eventually, someone does come along and break it. Would you then question my workmanship by contesting that I had created a broken window?

God did not create evil because evil does not require creation. If anything, it requires destruction. Evil does not exist. "Exists" only applies to evil insofar as evil is not imaginary. The old clichés of heat and cold or darkness and light still apply. How do you make something cold? Is it by adding coldness to it? No, it's by subtracting heat. I don't know how to be more clear about this.

If you want I can respond to the side-notes as well, but I don't want to get off-track.
