Thank you Jenny for creating the thread. While it is too late now for me to formulate my responses to your points (I will hopefully have time tomorrow for this) I wanted to ask a question.
Most (not all) that hold to an atheistic worldview prescribe to the notion that this world came to be by naturalistic means and has no design, no purpose, it just is. We just happen to be here as part of a naturalistic process. So the question is this (its twofold). What does evil really mean in a mechanistic universe? How does one define what is evil unless you first assume what is purpose?

We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
