that evil is the result human action and therefore, God is not to be held accountable for it (Inwagen, 1983). A problem that has been created by the existence and abundance of evil in the world can be summed up into one logical argument. God is supposed to be all loving and all-powerful, but how can he be all loving and all-powerful and at the same time allow the existence of evil and suffering in this world? This is essentially the idea behind the problem of evil for many believers. It is also the basis for the argument that many disbelievers use to disprove the existence of God. There are many approaches taken to answer the problem mentioned above. One approach is by attacking the purposed idea that an all-loving and all-powerful God cannot exist in a world where evil exists and is in abundance. The argument being that when God created humans, he gave us was the ability to choose our course of actions for ourselves. He did this because He wanted us to have the ability to choose on our own between right and wrong, good and evil, and believing in Him or not.

That is why God gave us free will, despite knowing that it would result in evil, suffering, and the questioning of his existence. If humanity does indeed choose to commit evil, it is their fault, not God's. Therefore, humanity is held accountable, not God, for the presence of evil in the world, because the choice to sin was made by humanity alone.

In story of Genesis, God created a perfect world for Adam and Eve to live in, The Garden of Eden, where they had no need for want or sin. Adam and Eve might have had no need to sin, but God gave them the ability to choose their actions for themselves. Both Adam an...
