You don't seem to have taken the point of the garden analogy, for which I refer you to (d) above. God is supposed to be not only good and powerful, but *infinitely* so. Hence we could reasonably expect any world He creates to be not just "good on the whole", but *manifestly* wonderful. Sadly, it isn't.’ ***Really? I tried to point out that given God’s omniscience and our lack of it, the wonderfulness of many parts of Creation might be mysterious and impenetrable to us. It’s a basic Leibnitzian point, which I would have thought would be known to him.
