- Sounds as if you are trolling to stir the pot here, and arrive at your pre-conceived notions. I hope I am wrong in thinking that. MattM 22:34, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
I myself do not know so much about this, but can I make a small request that someone apply some of Iranaeus' theodicies to this article, as they are clever and reasonable arguments for the problem of evil, of course from a Christian perspective. Metatron 20:19, 28 December 2007
One thing I would like to suggest is that there is no problem of evil. So evil exists in the creation of a good, omnipotent, omniscient God: the actual problem is that of evil, non-omniscient beings understanding why creation would or would-not have any particular feature. Qwestor 16:45, 28 December 2007 (EST)
- That may be a hard one to explain. Another way to look at it is that evil does not exist any more than cold exists. Cold is the absence of heat. Evil is the absense of (good/God). Learn together 20:57, 28 December 2007 (EST)
- Unfortunately, I can't agree with you there Learn together. Just because someone isn't doing good, it doesn't mean they're doing evil.

- Yes this is an oft cited consideration. and while I think there is something to it, the Judeao-Christian God is still omniscient/omnipotent which raises the question of why He opted for a creation in which His creatures would be permitted to disobey Him when it was evidently His option that they be unable to.
