If there is a philosophical question that will be debated over until the end of time, it will be the existence of god. In debating the existence of god, we must consider all arguments for and against whether or not god exists. The most commonly debated argument when arguing against god is the problem of evil. Evil is defined as the existence of human pain and suffering. If there is a god, and this god is all loving, all knowing, and omnipotent then how can there be evil in the world? How could a god allow human pain and suffering where seemingly none is deserved? There are many arguments retorting to this, but two stand out. First, God created the best possible world. Evil plays an important roll in our world, the world is better off with some evil that it could be with no evil. Second, moral evil on our planet is due to human free will. Since God gave us freedom, which is a necessity of a perfect world, it is the fault of humans that moral evil exists. It is the combination of these two arguments that prove god and evil can coexist. In disproving the validity of the "problem of evil", we only need to prove the possibility that god could coexist with evil. We should also note that there are two different types of evil; natural evil which includes natural disasters, and moral evil which involves humans causing pain and suffering upon other humans.
             If we are to agree that God, by nature created the best possible world, we must consider the natural laws that are abided by in order to create the world we live in. God could not eliminate evil without at the same time rendering it impossible to accomplish other goals that are important. For example, natural disasters are necessary for sustaining the living conditions of earth. Earthquakes, (presumably naturally evil), cause a lot of pain and suffering. However, the earth needs earthquakes in order to keep the continents from eroding into the ocean. If this did not occur then w...
