Well, it can’t be determined for sure, but we can get close as possible as humans.

but the conclusion 'therefore there should be no evil in the world' doesn't follow from the premise

You probably start with evidence that a god even exists.

Poverty hunger and war and all these terrible things exist because God also keeps His promises. At the beginning there was a contract between God and humanity. God would give us everything but one tree. Should we follow God He will keep us in paradise but if we decide to disobey and thus reject God He would punish us by taking the paradise away from us because He can’t stand sin.

The difference is the terms. One term should not be used to describe someone in that way. The word eternal in the context which it should be used in is not interchangeable with infinite.

 Nonsense. Define both words.

So basically, everyone who does suffer deserves to because two people who lived thousands of years ago ate an apple?

God cannot tolerate sin, or just 'let it go'. It would be against His perfect nature.

My premise wasn’t that there is no evil in the world, but that God does not want evil for us. In short God did not make this world for evil we just chose to have it that way. @jaredjm

Why should someone be punished for something someone else did?

Everyone else has sinned too.

If god exists, is omnipotent, and cares if we believe he exists, why doesn’t he just convince us?

Because God doesn’t want the love of robots. God wants us to choose to love Him not be forced by Him to love Him.

How do you know? What crime has everyone committed?

Perfection is sacrificing himself, to himself, as a loophole so he doesn’t have to punish us for violating rules that he made?

Um, it's quite obvious. Would you seriously ask me to believe that you (or anyone) has lived a completely perfect life?
