I poise a question.

RE: I poise a question.
That's a nonsensical 'argument'. Do you hold to the freewill defense as an explanation for the existence evil? If so, that theodicy entails that God knew evil would exist if he created creatures because the existence of moral good in that scenario necessitates the ability to perform moral evil. And if you do not hold to the freewill defense, you have to explain why God didn't determine the world to be good since there is no particular hindrance on him doing so.

We can call this the 'Mind-forged Dilemma' not because it's a bullshit dilemma, but because of the mental contortions you'll need to do to have a hope of escaping it. Wink
