All the good in the world can not be negated by evil, but obviously evil exists in our world. I have never seen the source of evil, but evil exists. For example the man who shot and killed police Officer Pratt, in Omaha just last week committed an evil act. ... In this case the act of shooting and the result killing officer Pratt was evil.
Mackie’s argument the problem of evil interested me because it applies to real life situations. Good or Evil? ... Our textbook describes the problem of evil in its simplest form; God is omnipotent, God is wholly good, and yet evil exists. The argument attempts to prove God does not exist through the presence of evil. ... Good is opposed to evil. A wholly good thing always eliminates evil as far as it can. ... From these additional premises we assume a good omnipotent thing eliminates evil completely. These specific premises make the premise evil exists and a good omnipotent thing exists contradictory.
The problem of evil argument is not a good argument. With all its premises the argument is contradictory saying evil exists and a good omnipotent thing exists.
