For example, the probability that an omniscient and omnipotent God exists that does not want fetuses to be aborted is 0% since fetuses obviously are aborted and nothing happens contrary to the will of an omniscient and omnipotent being.
God's will is not always followed. Humans have the ability (freedom) to disobey.
Beginning in Genesis, there is the disobedience of Adam and Eve and the slaying of Abel by Cain.
You can find all manner of examples (in the Bible) of disobedience and wickedness, even by people that had talked with God (directly or indirectly).
So the existence of evil or atrocities does not disprove God. On the contrary, it is consistent with the bible.
