The Problem of Evil doesn't conclude by asserting that God doesn't exist, just that the Christian conception of a god cannot exist.
Christians argue that there may be good reasons for evil, but this ignores two things:
1) an omnipotent being can achieve any end he wishes without using evil; and
2) that good reasons for things like cancer or a tsunami which kills over one quarter-million people in a day are scarce.
And none of this addresses the evils that their god is alleged to have inflicted himself.
This is simply more moral relativity buttressed by special pleading. *yawn*
