Well in reply to the first post i believe in christianity that Satan was an angel who was thrown out of heaven by God. If u are going by chritiantiy this implies God created a good universe and Evil came about of its own accord after God had created all things. Also iv noticed that when God is mentioned then people forget to think about the words they use. the word 'God' means different things to different ppl but id sat everyone takes the word God to mean the creator of all things with power over all things. Also i would have to say that God doesnt have to create anything for anything to happen, God could simply have set the conditions, rules, whatever and what we see now simply came out of that. If God created e.g. the big bang then he wouldnt need too create good or evil or free will as all these things would appear at least after we evolved. Thats what i mean when i say dont forget what u write, some people see god as a bearded man with a book and white clothes on a cloud still, and may or not believe in him. CSflim btw you cannot say there isnt an omnipotent, omniscient, all-good creator of the Universe just becuase you cannot comprehend how one could exist. You may have many arguements but there are no facts on this, the best we can come up with as a species seems to be discussed here in broad detail. Because you think an all good wouldnt create a world with hurt, but whats to say that this God hasnt seen the future and thinks that we need this painful time in order to achieve perfect things in the future? I mean lets be honest who says our definitions of these concepts are correct anyway? we are flawed animals trying our best to be more than what we are, but we are still flawed.
