0 and 1 are not the same thing. Can an all powerful being make them the same thing? Yes, but doing so would destroy the very concept of logic and render this whole exercise that is existence pointless. The theoretical world in which 0 and 1 are the same thing (or true and false, or hot and cold) does not rely on the rules of logic that underpin all human thought. You are looking at a return to the Ginnungagap; the void before reality. The darkness that existed before the first day.
Of course, the “free will” thingy doesn’t explain away all the bad stuff in the world. It explains why we have adultery and murder and nazis. But it doesn’t explain why babies get cancer. And the reason that babies get cancer is that the gods do not know everything, they can’t fix everything, and besides, they wouldn’t if they could because they don’t care. The paradox of baby cancer only works on monotheistic religions, and even then only a tiny percentage of them.
