>Could God have created...without evil?
He did. People choose evil by their own free will, as did the devil out of envy, and Adam did by disobeying God. Satan and death have been defeated by the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God and His Resurrection. God won't force people to choose union with Him over sin.

God choosing to give people the freedom to do evil does not imply that he is not good. Does a parent giving their children the freedom to make their own, potentially evil, decisions imply that they're malevolent?

What is the point of giving people free will if he already knows what their choices will be and he is the one who created them? That does not really sound like free will anyway. Or maybe he made it so he doesn’t have power over their decisions, so does that mean he is not all powerful? Can he not make a universe that is good AND people can have free will? Why create people that will do bad things and harm others if he is all good? What is the point of testing people if he knows the outcome already? So he is essentially just creating people to torture them forever since he already knows what decisions they will make?

God COULD create a world without evil, but without the choice to choose good or evil, free will cannot exist. He created heaven and angels first with free will. Hell didnt become a place until God needed to banish an angel with free will who chose to rebel. This just proves evil is a requirement in the recipe of free will. Its not that god CANT create free will with no evil, its that free will CANT exist without the choices of good and evil. Thats not a matter of being all powerful or not, its a matter of existence itself. Because God exists and God is good, so must an opposite exist. Without that, there is no choice.

Foreknowledge doesn't nullify free will. God is outside of time.

He can, but won't, overpower a person's will, or else it wouldn't be free.

He can, and did, in the beginning.

All things were created with a good nature. People freely choose to do evil against their nature.

There are many, such as sanctification.

>So he is essentially just creating people to torture them forever since he already knows what decisions they will make?
No, people choose to separate themselves from God, contrary to their own nature, and because they then won't be sanctified, they will experience, as a consuming fire, God's grace, which the sanctified experience as invigorating.

In order for free will to exist, there must be two choices. Plain and simple. There simply is no free will without more than 1 option. Its not about being all powerful, its a simple concept youre choosing to refuse.

What is free will? Its the ability to choose. If you only have one choice, what do you have free will to do? Nothing at all? Neglect falls into evil categorically, therefore with only one choice to do good all the time in everything you do, you simply wont have the option to do nothing.

So, what is free will in this little exercise? To me, its the ability to choose any option whenever you want for whatever you want, including doing horribly evil things. Without the choice to do good or evil, there is no choice.

christians have no objective basis for morality. The bible does not describe a system of morality, it provides a bunch of laws to follow and asserts that following these laws is in line with god's morality. But it does not provide a system for knowing the answer to a moral question not included in the laws the bible lays out. It's literally impossible for a christian to be moral, at best they're following good rules based on self-interest.

Natural events like volcanoes and earthquakes are only disasters to the degree that societies prepare or don't for them, which involves free will and a sequence of sufficiently good or wrong decisions. They can also happen due to human causes like chemtrails, geoengineering, HAARP. They can happen due to divine punishment also, in my opinion. They're the result of natural laws in a fallen world that is such due to the consequences of sin, evil. This doesn't mean God cannot remake the world into something much, much better.

Example of preparedness --> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1386978/The-Japanese-mayor-laughed-building-huge-sea-wall--village-left-untouched-tsunami.html

You don't seem to understand the word "morality", which is defined by the Cambridge online dictionary as:
>a set of personal or social standards for good or bad behaviour and character
And:
>the quality of being right, honest, or acceptable

Christians DO have an objective basis for morality, which is God. God is a perfectly good, divine being that is the supreme Creator. He also established what sin is and is not. Sin is evil, and evil is disobedience, rebellion and insult to He who is the author of good. The Bible offers a moral code based on this objective reality. Meanwhile, atheists always struggle with moral relativism because they lack that objective, divine reality, and base their interpretations of good and evil on this or that society, this or that place and time; on the one hand, listening to their consciences and hearts which God made in the first place, but on the other hand, rejecting all gods and getting confused in the process.

>It's literally impossible for a christian to be moral, at best they're following good rules based on self-interest.
This statement is so ridiculous and ignorant I'm not sure if that's what you really believe or you were just trolling, but anyway you don't understand Christianity well if that's the case. Are you sure you were not psychologically projecting by commenting that about selfish interest? Concepts like hospitality and charity are Christian virtues. Thanks to Christianity, Western societies have places like hospitals, restaurants and hotels that are part of the hospitality industry. Thanks to the catholic church we have universities which are an invention from the Middle Ages. The Jesuits have opened a great number of educational institutions to further benefit society's progress, for example.

What do you have? Do you not act in self-interest also? Acting in self-interest isn't always bad.

No, I think the burden of proof falls on people claiming that this complex and fascinating universe that can be scientifically studied, just popped out of nothing for no reason or has always existed for no reason despite scientific evidence of intelligent design proving the contrary, such as the Fibonacci sequence or there not being evidence for an increase in genetic information throughout time and random mutations. Of course, the testimonies of millions of people throughout the centuries also and archaeological and historical evidence for Jesus Christ in light of what the Bible describes in regard to the Messiah.

It doesn't matter how much time passes, a tornado will never automatically arrange a bunch of debris into a beautiful Ferrari that demonstrates intelligent design and a knowledge of beauty. Yet atheists claim random chaos produced life and humanity and everything out of nothing and for no reason, and have no way to prove this wild claim. On whom does the burden of proof really fall, when it is evident we live in a created world?

No no you don't understand. Atheism springs from hating the clergy and scripture and free will. Having to rubber band all the way from the big bang to earth is a modern phenomenon borne from academics over less than a 100 years.

Evolutionary processes focus on survival and reproduction, not morality. Therefore, killing, stealing, cheating and lying to ensure your own survival and reproductive success is obviously immoral but not incompatible with said "success", and this argument applies anywhere in time.

Human beings in Japan, Sweden, Brazil and Canada can all agree that dishonoring your father and mother, falsely accusing someone, stealing, murder, etc. are wrong or at least very questionable actions, despite these people being born in different societies and cultures, because we're all created by the same God who made humanity and the supreme moral law from which other human precepts ought to develop, in a more specific sense.

What would be an example of what you were mentioning?

Nobody claims the universe popped out of nothing, or if they do they are mix of wrong, dishonest and retarded.

We figured out how to look back X amount of time and have verifiable proof of what happened in that timeframe, but thats the extent of what we know. Anything that happened before that is beyond us for now and might be forever. The only honest answer to the question of what started the creation of the universe is "we don't know".

The inteligent design hipothesis has no verifiable proof. Theists always have to squeeze in a leap between some ragged ass "proof" and "god did it", which is exactly what you did.

Its not evident that we live in a created world, and you know you can't meet the burden of proof your claim demands, which is why you tried shifting it back to a strawman version of the atheist position.

There's no good evidence for intelligent design. There's also no official scientific position on the universe being ex nihilo or not - we're pretty sure it goes back to a Big Bang but who knows about before that.

Wrong. Atheists do that in regard to the Big Bang theory, which by the way got its name as a pejorative way of referring to Georges Lemaître's "hypothesis of the primeval atom", which I believe he developed partly due to atheistic assertions from that time that the universe had always existed, that it was eternal like God, so as a scientific way to prove our universe's created nature.

>The inteligent design hipothesis has no verifiable proof.

Your last sentence doesn't make sense to me and shows that you're not really paying attention to my arguments. What straw-man? "It is not evident", then explain why picrel exists as an awesome repeating pattern in an ideal world, why DNA acts like a programming language, the cosmological constant or why the Fibonacci sequence exists. How could these things just appear out of nothing, for no reason, out of materialistic chaos?

Yes, I still believe the burden of proof false on someone claiming our world popped out of nothing for no reason, or acting like it, given previous reasons for a Supreme Creator who has also revealed Himself in the Bible, which contains historical documents and archaelogical references that are verifiable today, like in and near Jerusalem.

False. DNA acting as a programming language is good evidence, as well as the Fibonacci sequence repeating in nature, the intricate workings of the human body, just the sheer fact of us living in an intelligible and ordered world that can be scientifically studied. Just because you can't or won't see it, or understand it, doesn't mean it's there for others to appreciate and understand. And who's "we"? The Big Bang theory is a pejorative name for George Lemaitre's "theory of the primeval atom", and he not only was a physicist and mathematician, but a catholic priest. I hope you can open your eyes to the truth, one of these days, and that your intellect works properly for that truth.

This is good because He does it and He is good. Just because you think it’s bad doesn’t mean it is bad.

If that's the case, I guess there's more room for the Flat Earth model, its corresponding evidence and scientific experiments like this one: https://www.bitchute.com/video/frpjCQezu8MZ/

You do know most, if not all, mainstream astronomical photography coming from big names like NASA is edited, right? Like they don't exactly portray outer space as it is?

A flat Earth wouldn't really contradict a biblically-based worldview, in my opinion. It's just a different way of seeing things, which by the way existed in past centuries.

Interesting Youtube channel that I find fun to watch sometimes (with a grain of salt):

But the scientific endeavor is in a constant process of self-questioning and optimization, that's normal, just like there have been multiple atomic models.

Yeah, things like justice and honesty tend to benefit society, but corrupt societies exist where fair play cooperation doesn't mean more progress, better birth rates and so on. Have you seen North Korea? Have you taken a look at Japanese birth rates? You ignored my previous argument about murdering, cheating, stealing and lying being compatible with reproductive success and survival, which are states that can be achieved morally or immorally.
