If he took away our freedom, besides re-writing the laws of nature/ physics so they'd be unworkable/ illogical, that would be by far the worst evil. If there were no bad shit to make you see how fucked up it really is, you wouldn't want God.
That is a good point. That pretty much sums up how anything God did directly effecting Earth in the Bible is false and disproves the concept of miracles from God.
For example, Noah's ark. In order for God to make it rain for 40 days/nights he would had to have re-written the laws of nature / physics. Another good example is parting the Red Sea and just about everything else God did on Earth.
Also, God curing a cancer patient (a miracle) would again only be possible if the laws of nature were re-written.
