I've saved your other post to eventually answer only because you bring up things I'd like to comment on. But as far as the way God has ordered things, it's like this. He is hitting a delicate balance with everything so that everyone who does not want to believe doesn't have to. If God was any more obvious than He is then you would be forced to believe and the question is would that be against your will? Obviously yes because while in the balance of things you have chosen not to believe and to not look any further. When God made the angels he gave them no choice. And then Lucifer (the most beautiful of all angels) did choose and he rebelled against God in his pride over himself. Well the third of the angels that he was in authority over had to be cast out with him, out of heaven. Did you ever think that maybe many of them didn't want to go? But they had to, they were under authority. Now God has created man, and given man choice. Even from the beginning. Man's own free choice has been preserved over any other consideration, even evil. And man has done plenty of evil. But men just blame the evil on God!! You have a choice all your life to either believe or not believe; in an environment that you may not always like or call utopia, but an environment where you really have a free choice.
