A world where we have free will would be diametrically different. People would make decisions based on knowledge rather than emotions. You’ve may have heard the day sentiment precedes rationale. There would be no war because our leaders would not be moved by ego and greed. There would be far fewer diseases because people would live healthy and not glamourize unhealthy habits. They would take pleasure from things that are good to and for them. We would have colonized other planets by now, found cures for cancer and the common cold. If we had free willpornography would not be a big business because men would not spend money on something that addicts but does not fulfull them.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
