Here, the form Klasis argument that has been discussed continuously for hundreds of years, namely:
(1) If God is good!, He would destroy evil.
(2) If God is omnipotent, He could destroy evil.
(3) But evil is not destroyed
(4) Thus, there is no such God.
Why does not God do something about crime? If He can and will do something, why do we still have crime? Why does evil still exist? And do not even seem to dwindle!
What do you think?

Because it was not time, if the Lord has come to end this mortal life, it would thus be an end of all evil because there is only Heaven and Hell.
People who saved and sanctified the Lord will not exist anymore because of his evil desires have been separated from the source of evil is evil itself, which is called the Antichrist, Satan aka the Devil.
While the Antichrist, Satan, Satan and his followers including-blasphemer blasphemer of God will be separated in the fires of hell and the two places that residents no longer affect each other.
From there gnashing of teeth in pain and vituperation and blasphemies will be heard.
So during that time not yet reached human should understand that God is giving opportunities to all people who do not have the safety to be aware of his ways and accept the help of God's grace to repent.

Okay, true religion is a religion that contains the rules and laws in the world and the hereafter, including to remove the evil.

So we think this is a test for us?
It reminds me to my friend, he was an atheist, he asked me, "if God is omniscient?"
I answered "yes"
and he asked again, "then why did God give us the exam, while God already knows the outcome? God already knows we have in Heaven or in hell?"
lol, this is not really my thing to say, maybe an expert could explain religion.

If god destroyed evil then people would not know god is good since there is no evil to compare it to.

If God stopped crime before it happened then people would not thank God for stopping it since they were unaware that it could happen in the first place.

Evil will always exist because we are all human beings and will therefore make mistakes. The way to reduce our chance of having evil mind is to increase our strength to resist temptation and this can be done by asking god to give us such power and we have to obey God's teaching at the same time.
In the sense of scicence, my headmaster in school gave us a talk about evolution. He mentioned that humans are higher mammals which can seperate and gather together. This makes us different from most other animals as they cannot do this. However, it might be this behaviour that makes us have evil mind and commit crime as we can be alone and do not mind what the others feel.
These are all my opinion and what I know. Hope they help!

There are two answers. First, crime not be destroyed without destroying liberty. Free human beings are the cause of crime, and the freedom given to us so that we can love. Love is the greatest good for all beings are free, but you can not be stated without freedom. So if freedom was destroyed, it would be a crime to himself, because it will eliminate the greatest virtue of self creature free. Because it destroys the real crime is a crime. If the evil will be overcome, we need to talk about evil is defeated, not destroyed.
The argument against God from evil makes the arrogant assumption. This argument implies that if God did not do anything like this, it will never happen forever. But this implies that the person making the argument that having inside information about the future. If we restate the argument to fix these errors in temporal perspective, it would be an argument to defend God.
The argument used to oppose the existence of God turned into a plea to God in the face of problems of crime. There is no question here that if it did not happen and God is as we imagine that we still have not waited long enough. God is still not finished. "Chapter" last still not written. It seems clear that God would rather struggle with our will is like rebelling than the rule completely over rocks and trees. People who want to get a faster resolution of the conflict might still be waiting.
So is not yet time.

Maybe it's habit. You have the pleasure to see such a thing. I think it does not matter, as long as you do not do evil things

Because the responsible authority are blinded by the bribes their received from people who commit crime. Another thing is because some people are so obsessed with gaining so much wealth, they are not contented in earning decent income. God gave us a power to decide, a power to say yes or no, He did not intervene with our choices as long as we don't ask Him to. God is so great all He want is to experience our life here temporarily and a place he prepared for us is His Kingdom, we can only have it if we believe and accept Jesus Christ as our savior and God. That place is free from evil and difficulties.

Good cannot exist without evil. It is all about balance in the universe, no matter what you believe or who you believe in. If evil people did not exist, then how could you tell if someone was good or not? There has to be some standard to compare the good or bad people from. Therefore, evil is a necessary evil and for the world to work as it is.
Life is not fair. There has to be good things and bad things happening. If life was just good, it would not just work. In fact, if only good things happened and only good people existed, would the good people be good. There needs to be black and white, not to mention everything in between. Not everyone needs to be a complete definition of purity. Otherwise, we just exist, without any meaning, because what we do will not bring us any joy, because we cannot compare anything to it.
