But in reality, there can't be two perfectly good options. Without evil at all, there's always only one option. And God doesn't give options, he gives freedom. In that allegory he gives a fork and money to buy lunch. Humanity chose instead to buy rope and use the fork to kill the neighbour's child… God can't be accused for that.
In our reality. That god created, right? You don't need to explain how things are now - I see it every day. The question is why god would have made it that way.
Your post basically amounts to "god isn't all powerful" if he's bound by those same constraints we are; or "god isn't all good" if isn't bound by those constraints, but chose a system in which freedom includes evil. So which is it?
