Maybe god does prevent Evil and the Universe is totally just and fair. The problem is humans thinking their version of Evil is the correct one. Maybe.

    … if A is true … then B …

    Okay, for starters, that’s different from “if you believe A is true, then B”. “If A then B” can be logically sound without A being true - or with A being false (those are two different things). In such a case, it would follow that B cannot be said to be true, because A is either false or cannot be shown to be true. Side note, if there is no way to demonstrate that A is false, then A is “unfalsifiable”, and the whole thing is not even worth considering.

    Anyway, if A is unfalsifiable or false, then B is undefined. B would be true if A were true, provided that B necessarily follows from A. For this case, you’d need to demonstrate that A is true for further consideration to be warranted.
