I love it. Retrodiction is awesome.

I think I broke the free will God argument. The idea that evil is evidence that God gives us free will is contradicted by the existence of evil. What do you think?

In general, if someone thinks they've said something that is both new and valuable about the theodicy: they haven't.

Looking at your link, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Well, I reworded my point as "The idea that evil is evidence that God gives us free will is contradicted by the existence of evil" but if you don't think it's going to be interesting, don't bother.
