There would have to be free will to start with (of which there is not), and not everything is a choice. Why would a loving god want to create evil in the first place? A loving god could've just made everything good from the start. The story makes no sense no matter how you look at it.
It is a serious question and I remember a serious question I asked my mother when I could not have been more than 5 years old. The question was ''where did God come from''. I don't remember the exact answer but I do remember hesitancy and stammering and basically the answer was 'we don't know'.
