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.

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
