RE: Knowing everything and allowing evil

Augustine defined evil as the lack of the good that ought to be. Anything less than the highest good is by necessity evil to some degree. Evil not is really anything at all, only an absence of something good. That's the premise behind the phrase "even angels are unclean before the Lord." In a sense I agree with MysticKnight. Freewill is not tied to evil.
