The definition of free will is making a choice free of control, but if god is omniscient and knows the future, that choice is predetermined and not free of control. Therefore, free will cannot exist. So, for you to say that god couldn't avoid creating suffering requires you to demonstrate such a contradiction.And I did. It's contradictory to say that we can learn compassion etc. without suffering in the world.
