"why is it that a loving God created all the evil in the world again?" To you to admit that there is true evil in the world is to admit that there is an ultimate standard by which to judge between good and evil. You seem to have put yourself in a "tuff"(sic) position.

or this fact that we are deterministic beings, which is part of the mystery because are from "Nature" and there is much less free will than you "think". A man’s volition is outside the power of other men. What the unalterable basic constituents are to nature, the attribute of a volitional consciousness is to the entity “man.” Nothing can force a man to think. Others may offer him incentives or impediments, rewards or punishments, they may destroy his brain by drugs or by the blow of a club, but they cannot order his mind to function: this is in his exclusive, sovereign power. Man is neither to be obeyed nor to be commanded. Ayn Rand
