The linked article presents the theistic counterarguments to The Problem of Evil, such as those espoused by C.S. Lewis.

Here is an example of what C.S. Lewis has to say in his book: "If the universe is so bad… how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps, but hardly so foolish as that."

Perhaps I am a small-minded engineer, but that seems like an incredibly weak argument. The linked article, on the other hand, presents the best of the counter-arguments; I don't think C.S. Lewis adds anything of value.

That's taking one sentence from one argument from the book, and finding it weak. You should compare the strongest arguments from the article to the strongest arguments from the book, not to the weakest.
