Introduction:
Definition of evil in terms of good is “anything in the world which makes the world good”. One survey was conducted in which people were asked to put a question to God and they have to keep in mind that God answers that then what would they ask? Most of the people want to know from God that “whey there is pain and suffering?” even God can do anything, knows everything and morally perfect. This question arises and philosophers call this as “the problem of evil”.
There are two types of evil in the world. They are:
Natural Evil and Moral Evil
Natural Evil: This type of evil doesn’t need any agent for the cause of suffering. Examples are earth quakes, floods etc.
Moral evil: This type of evil needs an agent to happen like human beings are only enemies of others humans. Examples are gender discrimination, war, human brutality, killing a person etc. …show more content…
Example, pollution created in the environment which increases the temperature of sea surface area leading to droughts, famines etc.
There are some more evils which we cannot classify because they come under both perspectives i.e. natural and moral evils. Examples contagious diseases like cold, jaundice etc., because diseased person doesn’t have any intention to effect other person with his disease. In between nature acts as a source to pass the disease from diseased to other.
The problem of evil can be expressed as a set of six inconsistent statements which forms as a logical inconsistency. They are
1) God (a supreme being who created the world)
