The FWD does explain evil
Does explain & solve some logical problem of evil (Inconsistant Triad), an omnipotent, benevolent God is justified in continuing to allow free will.
FWD dies provide some explanation of natural evil
Swinburne attempts to explain natural eivl. Natural evil require rationality, we get rationality from being moral agents, to be rational we need to live in a coherant world governeed by universal laws.
FWD is consisten with the God of Classical Theism
God is all loving so gives us free will.
Hick and Augustine preserve his qualities - Quotes Genesis 1:26 "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness" 2:7 "Then the Lord God formed a man, from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being"
FW and moral perfection do appear to be incompatible
God would be limiting our freedom if he guaranteed moral perfection. Murder, it is ones choice to murder, they do so are free. If God stopped them then they wouldn't be free. Our own choice to act morally or not.
