| - The Problem of evil is a term that refers to a set of atheological arguments that attempt to disprove theism by pitting the existence of a omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent God and the existence of evil in the world against each other.
- The Problem of Evil is a strong argument against the concept of God accepted by Christians, Jews and Muslims. It takes the following form; 1.
* A God that is All powerful would be able to prevent evil and suffering. 2.
* A God that is All knowing would know that evil and suffering happen. 3.
* A God that is All loving would want to prevent evil and suffering. But evil and suffering happen. Therefore a God that is all powerful all knowing and all loving is logically impossible.
- The so-called problem of evil is a topic of much debate in theology and the philosophy of religion. Many atheists base their views to some degree on their assessment of this argument's strength: God is, according to accounts given by the holy texts of most monotheistic religions, omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent.
- The Problem of Evil is a strong argument against the concept of God accepted by some Christians, Jews and Muslims. This is an argument against the classical definition of god. It takes the following form: 1.
* A God that is all powerful would be able to prevent evil and suffering. 2.
* A God that is all knowing would know that evil and suffering happen. 3.
* A God that is all loving wouldn't want evil and suffering to happen.

| - The so-called problem of evil is a topic of much debate in theology and the philosophy of religion. Many atheists base their views to some degree on their assessment of this argument's strength: God is, according to accounts given by the holy texts of most monotheistic religions, omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent. 1.
* An omniscient being knows all the true propositions, including those which describe all the evil that exists. 2.
* A benevolent person seeks to prevent evil from befalling others, to the extent that he or she knows of it and can do something about it (ought implies can), and an omnibenevolent being never strays from this goal. 3.
* However, an omnipotent being has the power to prevent evil from befalling persons. 4.
* Given 1, 2 and 3, we would expect that God should prevent evil from occurring. However, we know evil occurs from time to time. 5.
* Therefore, God lacks at least one trait usually ascribed to Him or else does not exist at all.

* A God that is all loving wouldn't want evil and suffering to happen. But evil and suffering do happen. Therefore, a God that is all powerful, all knowing and all loving does not exist, unless it is a very stupid or ignorant god.

Religious people try to explain it with Original Sin, but that's not fair, and thus, is evil. How can the descendants fairly be punished for what Adam and Eve did?
