Summary
If evil on earth came only from humans (economic inequalities, exploitation, conflicts, wars, etc.), we could say that evil stems from human freedom alone. But there are many evil things that don't come from humans: deformities, diseases, natural disasters. This evil is totally unjust, and cannot be attributed to freedom.
