I have yet to see a good response to the following objection to the free
will defense:

There exists a logically possible world in which humans freely choose to
good in all circumstances.
Why didn't God choose to create or actualize that world instead of this
one or any other that has a better ratio of good to evil?
Also, how are diseases, earthquakes and other natural disasters the
result of free actions?
