I still enjoy putting forth the arguments and seeing who can come up with an explanation that is the most consistent. There is merit in discussing it but, yeah, I see it more as a philosophy than an absolute.
Edit: I tried to rep you but I must have already on another thread so thanks for answering.
God had to create evil first and then create the cure.

Wrong. Evil cannot be created......ever buy a gallon of evil?
God created perfect angels with a free will and 2 people in a perfect garden also with free will. They could have remained perfect but were tempted and tested by Lucifer and failed the test, just like we would. Satan serves a temporary purpose in testing people, when that is done in the millenium the devil is drop kicked into the lake of fire never to bother anybody again.
The world fell under a curse in Genesis 3 and has remained there til this day, this is not Gods idea of perfection at all. Perfection and the world the way God wants it comes when He forms a new heaven and new earth........then its beyond glorious for eternity..........can't wait.....
Maybe evil is necessary to define "good", just as cold provides a way to view hot, soft contrasts hard, light contrasts dark, etc. Opposites bring clarity.

A necessary illusion to inform us something is wrong.
I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought, For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate; Choose then thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.
Henry Van Dyke

Where does it say that the angels were created with free will?...

Who the hell is Lucifer? Is it not, man who exalts himself.
