The Theory of Why We Are Here
Humanity was created to settle, once and for all, the problem of good and evil that Lucifer's rebellion introduced into the universe.
A sustained argument that reads history as a single trial: evil enters as potential, is exposed in freedom, and is answered definitively at the cross.
The arc of the argument
I. Fullness
A Creator who needs nothing creates freely. Everything that follows is gift, not necessity.
II. Rebellion
Freedom makes evil possible. In Lucifer, possibility becomes act, and a question enters creation.
III. Duality
Earth becomes the stage where good and evil are shown for what they are, without abstraction.
IV. Resolution
At the cross the question is answered: evil is exhausted, not merely condemned.

Chapter 4
Why Not Create Only the Good?
The most common objection deserves the most patient answer: foreknowledge is not the same as pre-selection.

Chapter 6
