Hii dear here is ur answer
If God was all-powerful and all-loving, with free will yet perfectly good, God would create life with similar properties: with free will and perfectly good. Meaning that there would be no human-created evil, and no need for evil, suffering or death in the world in any way. However, there is evil and death in very great quantities, therefore it holds that if the situation was created by a god then such a god is not omnipotent and benevolent. Given that such a god exists, it must be malevolent: An evil god, who created life for the sole purpose of watching life suffer.
Such a god would make life, in its very essence, impossible to exist without death, violence, suffering and struggle. Advanced life, especially, would be inherently prone to nastiness, wars, immorality, killing and causing of suffering. As this is how it is in the world, it holds that the existence of such levels of suffering, if it is the result of intelligent design, is thoroughly evil, and to call god "good" is a corruption of the truth.
As it happens, the world is as we would expect it to be if the designer of life was evil. Ancient religious minds also realized this. Gnostic religions such as the Manicheans explained that this world was the creation of an evil God, and that we had to somehow escape from it. Some people criticize this, asking, if the world was designed by an evil God, why is there some happiness and goodness in the world? Why isn't the world purely evil, with only suffering
Hope you help u

This means that God can do anything that is logically possible. So he can create galaxies, and subatomic particles, and rainforests, and you.
But God cannot do what is logically impossible. He cannot make a square circle or a one-ended stick. So can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it? No.
So what if, when God created human beings, he wanted them to be free. Freedom's a good thing. But, if humans are to be free, they cannot be forced to obey God -- because freedom without choice is like a square circle. It's a logical contradiction. No choice, no freedom.
God didn't want robots. He wanted real people.
The first humans endowed with the awesome power of free choice abused their freedom. The tragic consequences of their bad choice and our bad choices rippled across the world.
God is responsible for the fact of freedom but humans are responsible for their acts of freedom.
But let's remember, we don't suffer alone. God will put an end to suffering and evil. And God became a man to suffer with us.
God is good and he wants real people like you to know him, but the free choice is yours.
