And his answer shows that the concept of "free will" is frequently just an attempt by "theists" to give God an excuse for "the problem of evil": Why is there evil in the world? Because God gave man free will.
And so the unbeliever rightly points out that God could have prevented evil and didn't.
Allowing evil is no excuse if you have the power to prevent it.
