Personal opinion set aside, I really liked point twelve Leibniz made. Without evil in the world how would we be able to appreciate the good? If we only had good in the world we wouldn't be able to appreciate what that meant. We need the contrast of evil in order to know that good is, well, good.
I didn't understand how he used predestination as an explanation for God. It seems to me you have to believe in God in order to believe in predestination. That argument seemed a little backwards to me, but maybe I read it wrong.
