Evidence for God from Science

I think one of the biggest obstacles you'll have to overcome in your thinking is the equating of evil to suffering. I equate evil with doing that which is outside the objective moral standard of a monotheistic deity. Evil doesn't exist. It's simply a deviation from what is considered to be right. W...

Rich Deem apparently answered my "miracles" proposal in the original article. For some reason I missed it/forgot about it. This is a mere secondary problem, still. Your argument grows stronger that it's impossible to create a world without natural evil, but not impossible (*yet*). The issu...

@VLAD You have posted a lot in a few takes, my humble suggestion would be to post at max one two arguments in a single post, it helps understanding what you are trying to say and what you expect us to answer. But please, can someone still explain to me how to fit this into a paradigm where it is in...

Wilhelm Schmidt has evidence that many tribal societies used to have beliefs similar to monotheism. Creation Ministries International has an article on this: http://creation.com/wilhelm-schmidt-and-the-origin-of-religion Creationism.org provides an argument as well, though not as strong: http://www....

Which leads me to another point here. Another solution from certain Christians that addresses this is the Fall of Man and the associated decay of the world. Even there though, it's a problem for me to understand how God punishes everyone for the sins of Adam and Eve. I find it hard to comprehend wh...

I want people to understand. I didn't come here to disprove God. I came here because I seek clarification. Please do not approach this with the intent to "debunk" me, or whatever. I came here for HELP. If you truly think I am wrong (and I'll be honest, I do wish I was), then help me. That'...

The point you missed is that the universe was designed to choose between good and evil. Without the possibility of evil, no choice is possible. Because evil choices are possible, the laws of the universe must restrict the actions of free moral agents. Practically speaking, this means that the unive...

Oh my, more mistakes. I said "I feel as though my mind is tiring and I do admit I made a blunder there in how I presented the concepts. No, it would be hard to have objective morals without God, no one's saying that it's easy." I meant objective morals without God REVEALING himself. "...

I want to correct myself in the last paragraph. When I mentioned conscience, I unfortunately went ahead with the assumption that natural evil can be explained away. A large part of the last paragraph was devoted to explaining that it it somewhat reasonable to conclude that there can be objective mor...

I disagree with various reasoning you have provided. For example, that God is bound by the same rules as us otherwise He would be hypocritical. God is not us, but rather God is sovereign. To drive this point home via analogy, what you are saying is on par with me saying, "you're a hypocrite fo...

This message was originally sent to Rich Deem. I copy and pasted it here for further discussion with all who wish to add their perspective: "Hello, I would like to offer a response to your article that deals with natural evil, entitled 'Where is God When Bad Things Happen? Why Natural Evil Must...
