Free will? If God is powerful enough to do that, he surely would have had a better solution than wiping the earth clean with a flood. I'm sure a loving god wouldn't choose to let the people suffer because he isn't smart enough to design humanity correctly.
One again, we can look back at Epicurus. If god is omnipotent, he has the ability to prevent sin and evil- but he does not. Is he willing but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent. If he is both, from whence comes evil? Is he neither? Then why call him god?

The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.
