Why is there evil in the world, if God is all-powerful and good?

God is only testing in this world. At least that's what every religion tell us. If this world had no problems then what would be the point of a heaven? Also when bad times come people remember God and in good times they forget. So everyone goes through there phases si God can test their loyalty in good and bad and thick and thin. Sometimes good people face bad things in life so that they are tested and sometimes so that they are punished only in this world and do not have to go through hell to pay for their sins
Yes some people will go to hell before eventually going to heaven. So testing is a problem if there is nothing to test. No devil to whisper into your ear and no evils. Also all these problems are a consequence of humans running rampant with free will. All man made problems. The world did not start this way

This argument is silly because some people have it much worse than others. If God is testing us he's hardly doing it fairly. Not sure how many people would argue the Holocaust has brought its victims some kind of positive gain when all is said and done.

Also if God is all knowing then testing us is pointless as he knows the outcome.

Well the logic is so that on the day of judgement we cannot say why are we going to hell if we did not do anything
