[QUOTE="Hawkins, post: 76694119, member: 109374"] When you create anything, there will be by-products that require a QA/QC process to filter them out as a responsibility of the creator. So the answer is a yes and no. God created entity beings with free will, while inevitably free will leads to evil because anyone is given a fair chance to be against God who is the only source of good. Moreover, this is actually mathematical in terms of statistics and probabilities. If it's a real choice that entities can be against God, the mathematical expected outcome is that some will be against and others won't. The expected behavior of free will is more or less like the bell-shaped Normal Distribution. Law is to make a cut on this bell-shaped curve to define how many will be saved in the end. To humans, narrow is the gate. To angels then, 1/3 of them will follow Satan. [/QUOTE]
