Obviously god doesn't have to make any middling choice between having free will and evil. Are you really going to insist that your god prefers this earths fallen state to his own kingdom in heaven?The New Creation* will be a sin-free zone. People who claim salvation by Jesus Christ will have the propensity to choose but will be unable to sin just as God can't do sin, accept sin, or overlook sin. This current universe will be spoken out of existence after it serves God's purposes.

Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
