To the Theodicy Problem, I propose a Free-Will Defense. I know this will not be enough hence will post other defenses in my succesive posts if you can argue why the free-will defense will not hold against Hume's theodicy problem. Yes, the Judeo-Christian God is all good, all powerful and yet there is evil. Evil in not a creation of God, nor there is such entity as 'evil' which challanges God's absolute existence or 'satta'. If evil exists, it exists in inferior state and cannot be comprehended as something that would eventually take over the absolute good that is God. Further, God as an entity did not create evil per se, it is a creation of human beings, for God granted humans free-will to choose and intelligence to distinguish the difference between good and bad. The choice is yours and mine and God has nothing to do with it!
