I rest my case.

In a typical defense of god, C.S. Lewis argued that god was aware his gift of Free Will might be misused but determined that the potential benefit to Man was worth the risk. Might be misused? Risk? An omniscient god would have known--with absolute certainty--that Free Will would be misused. It was god, himself, therefore, who knowingly and willfully created evil--Man was simply an unwitting victim fulfilling his ("god-given") destiny.
