Well...
It might be that god is morally indifferent, or has a different moral code from us. (Maybe we're wrong.)
Plus, evil seems to be perspectival, to at least some extent. For example, the "evil" of smallpox is evil only from an anthropic perspective. To the bacillus in question, vaccination is the evil.
The problem lies in assuming that god's view coincides with ours, for which we have no evidence at all.
