So, invoke the "God is not omnipotent" quadrant. Fair enough. Do you have any proof this is actually the case?
Do you have any proof that a perfect world is possible while still maintaining human free agency? Without that, the objection from evil drops away.

…If you can believe in an eternal being, how do you know the universe isn't eternal? [/quote]My view allows for the possibility that the physical universe could indeed be eternal. However, anyone can see that the physical universe sits within a larger reality that also includes non-physical features like subjective experience and meaning.

Not at all. I was an atheist at the time I found this argument convincing.
