Existence of Evil

The existence of evil is a philosophical and theological challenge that questions why suffering, pain, and moral wrongdoings happen in a world created by a good and omnipotent deity or natural laws. Various perspectives suggest that evil may result from free will, natural laws, or as a contrast that helps us appreciate good. Some believe evil exists as a necessary counterpart to free choice, while others see it as a consequence of complex systems beyond human control. Overall, it’s a profound mystery that highlights the tension between the presence of suffering and the notion of a benevolent order.
