The Problem of Evil

Premise 1: If God exist, then he would eradicate evil.
Premise 2: Housework is evil.
Premise 3: I have to do housework, hence evil exist.
Conclusion: God does not exist.

But if God exist, clearly one of my premise is wrong. Which is it I wonder?

That's easy:
Premise 1: If God exist, then he would eradicate evil.

Supposition: If and only if God eradicates evil, then evil would not exist.

Explanation: Since the non-existence of evil cannot exist without the eradication by God, therefore God exist.

Solved.

Secondary:
Premise 2: Housework is evil.

Response: Says who?

Solved.

I dunno Timothy, your explanation feels like argument from silence.
