Why doesn't God eliminate evil?
The reason begins in the Garden of Eden.
God created Man and loves us so much that he gave us choice. God educated Adam on his choices (see: Tree; Knowledge of Good and Evil).
In fact the ability for Man to have free will and act on it was SO IMPORTANT that God did not step in to stop Adam from biting the apple. He already told Adam what would happen and now it was UP TO ADAM to decide.
The following is my personal interpretation of why there was even a Tree in the Garden:
"How could Man choose if there was no choice to make?"
Without that Tree Satan would have standing (using that as a legal term) in challenging God and that of course is unacceptable.
On another related note, why didn't Jesus simply take the keys while he was here on Earth and eliminate evil?
Because Satan had not broken any of God's Laws, Jesus had no standing to simply take the keys. Up to this point only Adam had rebelled* (which is how Satan had gotten the keys in the first place, he took them from Adam).
*Satan had already been kicked out of Heaven and now was stuck on Earth. Now it was Satan vs God's Children.
Satan had lost the keys when Jesus sacrificed himself. Satan had put an innocent man to death, hence breaking God's Law, losing his standing; so Jesus got the keys back as a result.
Many people gripe when I compare libs and conservatives in Biblical terms but the brass tacks comes to this:
Liberals are all about eliminating choices (Satanic)
while
Conservatives are about providing for choices (Godly)
It is up to good people to eliminate evil and God has given us the power to do so, through choice.
Don't let the Libs (Satan's pawns) take that away from us.
