The difference is btwn what God materially provided and what He ordained, and what (or if) He compelled. And how to reconcile the problem of evil with a holy and omniscient and omnipotent God of justice and mercy. http://conservapedia.com/Theodicy

Joseph Albo said in the 15th century, ¨If I knew God I´d be Him.¨

It´s enough, for me, to know that God gave us an orderly world. If we sometimes come upon earthquakes or pure accidents that´s not evil. Evil is what comes out of our minds with respect to the detriment of one another and the rest of nature.

Evil can/will only exist where there is life capable of abstracting information from its environment. As far as we know, so far, that´s right here.
