If ALL things are possible with omnipotent God, and, God hates evil, then why doesn't God create a universe that has both free will AND no evil?

Conclusion?

I think it's too contradictory for God to truly be all powerful,all loving, AND all knowing.

One of my latest theories about the universe is that things get infinitely larger and smaller, and worshipping God is our way of dealing with that.

Example: Atoms, as we've all learned, are basically mini solar systems. If an electron were a sentient being, it might discover it to be part of an atom after some time. Later, it would discover other atoms. Maybe, if it were an especially smart electron, it would discover the cell it's part of. And it would worship the cell God, because cells are all-powerful in the mind of an electron. Now, the cell knows about the atoms it is made of, and it knows about the electron. Maybe, if the cell were smart, it would discover itself to be part of a human's organ. And it would worship the organ. And the organ would worship the body, and so on, getting infinitely larger. The universe is giant to us, but what it could be compared to an atom of an even greater force?

So, to relate this to God, if there is one, God maybe isn't perfect. To human eyes, God is omniscient and omnipotent, but in reality, maybe there is no such thing.

Edit:
Reply to the person below me:
What you are forgetting is God is supposedly omnipotent, meaning he can do ANYTHING, even the impossible. God is all-powerful, therefore he could easily make people have freewill without the capacity to do evil, as illogical as that sounds to us.

He did create a world where no evil existed and everyone had a freewill. This world existed before he put man on earth. In heaven there was no evil and everyone had a freewill. The only thing is that when you create a being with the ability of freewill, he might make choices like Satan did. This is the difference between men, angels and God. God can not change His character or nature if He desire too, but men can go either way.

God does not hate evil but he hates evildoers. Evil is the opposite of good. One will never know what is good if there is no evil. Evil is there as God's measure for our ability to follow His commands. Righteous person is credited for the righteousness he does. The wicked person is held accountable for his wickedness. The righteous person who does wickedness in the eyes of God will be charge accordingly and the wicked who returned to God and does what is right will be given credit for the right thing he did.
That is the essence of the Free Will granted to us. Evil and Good exist like Black and White, Right and Wrong, Male and Female, for how can one know the difference if everything is the same?

Sure. Vanilla or chocolate ice cream?

The only problem would be that a universe with absolutely no evil would be a little boring. Still, why not have a little less? We don't really need tsunamis or hurricanes, unless you honestly believe everybody who died in them deserved it. Which brings us back to a God who read too much Hammurabi.

that's an oxymoron. ya can't have a world with no sin (sin creates evil) and freewill. look at Adam and Eve, they had freewill and no sin for a while untill they ate the forbidden fruit. we could have freewill and no sin for a short while but some person would mess that up. in heaven there's freewill and no sin, cos sin isn't allowed to enter into heaven, so we've got something to look forward to :-D. Jesus loves you

Even if God destroyed Satan we would still be capable of sin because of original sin.
God Bless

The present of loose Will whilst God created the 1st human, he produced extra desirable than purely a physique with a techniques. added, God did no longer create Adam and Eve to be mindless robots. He implanted in them the college of loose will. And that replaced into an exceptional present, for "God observed each thing he had made and, look! it replaced into very sturdy." (Genesis a million:31) specific, "perfect is his activity." (Deuteronomy 32:4) all human beings savour this present of loose will as a results of fact we don't choose all our techniques and movements dictated to us without ever having a decision in something. inspite of the undeniable fact that, replaced into the fantastic present of loose will for use without limits? In guidelines given to early Christians, God's observe solutions: "Be as loose human beings, and yet preserving your freedom, no longer as a blind for badness, yet as slaves of God." (a million Peter 2:sixteen) For the undemanding sturdy, there could be obstacles. consequently, loose will replaced into to be regulated by the rule of regulation. in any different case, anarchy might result. the priority—Sovereignty whilst Adam and Eve rebelled against God, they challenged his sovereignty, it relatively is, his ideal to rule. Jehovah could have destroyed them and commenced over with yet another couple, yet that does no longer have settled the undertaking of whose rulership is optimal and terrific for human beings. Granted time to advance their societies in accordance to their very own techniques, people might show previous any doubt besides the fact that if rulership autonomous from God could ever be triumphant. What do hundreds of years of human background let us know? For all those centuries, human beings have tried many varieties of social, financial, political, and non secular structures. inspite of the undeniable fact that, wickedness and suffering have persisted. in fact, 'depraved adult males have more desirable from undesirable to worse,' particularly in our time.—2 Timothy 3:13. the 20 th century observed a height of clinical and business achievements. inspite of the undeniable fact that it additionally observed the worst suffering in the finished background of the human race. And no remember what clinical advances are made, the regulation of God nevertheless holds real: people separated from God—the source of existence—fall ill, advance old, and die. How of course it quite is been proved that people can't 'direct their very own steps'!
