Considering it allows evil to exist, yes, that is exactly what I’m saying.
Apologies for assuming what religious family you were discussing there. Typically discussion on free will vs. predestination centers on the Abrahamic deity, since it’s a key debate in that family of faiths.
There are many explanations for the existence of evil which do not have to mean that God doesn't or can't exist.
For example:
* You can't have free will if the committing of evil acts is ruled out. And allowing free will does not have to mean that God approves of or encourages evil acts.
* How do we know what is good if there is no bad to compare it too? Just as how do we know what is light if there no darkness to compare it to?
* Good vs evil can be seen as creative tension, which impels progress.
* Good sometimes emerges from evil precisely because that evil existed in the first place and preceded the good.
* Good vs evil can be analogised to left hand vs right hand where, for example, the push between the two allows you to do many things with your hands that it would be difficult, or in some cases impossible, to do with just one hand.
* God's perspective is so far beyond any human conception that it's impossible to fully understand why evil exists and what it is from a purely human perspective ... just as an earthworm can't understand what a cloud is and why it exists.
* The concept of karma allows for both good and evil, but says that you reap what you sow (not necessarily in a single life-time) - not according to some moral judgement from God, but simply as a result of a natural law as to how the universe works that God has put in place.
