Isn't that like saying "Please explain air flight without using the principles of aerodynamics"? That is, the answer is that we don't understand it. Which seems to me to be just right if God exists and is in fact God. Wouldn't it be odd if we could understand why God did everything he did? That said, free will is at least a tentative answer to (B). I don't understand (C). (A) is hard; I don't have an explanation for it.

1 -- this is the general problem of evil, which I talked about above. I'll be honest, there's no really satisfactory answer other than faith.
2 -- Free will. God lets us mess up, because otherwise it wouldn't have any value when we didn't mess up. He wants to woo us, not overwhelm us; when he does set the record straight, it'll be too late. Also, mere correct belief isn't enough -- the devil has a better grasp of theology than most of us, but that's not going to save him.
3 -- There's certainly evidence, as I've argued elsewhere in this forum. As far as why there's no proof, see point 2.
4 -- The Bible doesn't contradict evolution. And we haven't proven evolution the way we've proven, say, that 2 + 2 = 4. It's the best theory going, but could possibly be revised or supplanted in the future.
