The list of creator gods is very long. It's kind of like one of those big marathons, with hundreds of people at the starting line, except that they're tossing thunderbolts at each other and incredulously shouting "YOU CAN'T EXIST... I DON'T REMEMBER CREATING YOU!!!"

It is not God who creates evil, but the free will being who chooses to do so.He created people with the capacity, but not the inclination, to turn from him then provided an easy means by which they could do so, and allowed access to a being who would coax them into doing it. Then he blamed them for the result. And you pat him on the back for providing a choice between mindless devotion and eternal judgment and calling it "free."
If god brings justice, it sounds as if he should start with himself.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
