it exist? Individuals argue a lot that if God is the creator of everything in the world that exists and that evil exists, therefore God is the creator of evil. The conclusion that God is the creator of evil follows logically from the premises. The problem with this argument is if evil really is something that God created or is it something that humans develop into being. Also according to the Old Testament of the Bible, when God created Adam he created him free and also good. When Adam disobeyed…

Sgt. Agnew, Here are some of my thoughts about things we need to work on. I realize some of the things I'm going to talk about I don't really have the answer or the idea how to correct them. I've racked my brain and this is how I feel. I believe Officer Albert and I work extremely hard in changing peoples perception on campus about UPD. This has taken awhile but I believe UPD's relationship with residents and staff is way better than it was before CP started. This isn't meant to give…

any positions made by theologians. Mackie calls his argument the ‘problem of evil’ since it demonstrates that the conception of both an omnipotent and wholly good God lacks rational support and is therefore irrational.

Fundamental attribution is seeing an individual do something ONCE and assume that is…
