It seems to be the position of most of you that the existence of God and the evil we see in the world is logically incompatible. I have never participated directly on this topic so I was wondering who might like to discuss it.
I never saw a problem with evil. What would a god judge good and evil against? What could possibly be 'not OK' with god? If there were a god, it just created the possibility of a universe, then let it unfold on its own. ALL life is prey to something, that is just part of the change. Without change, there would be no universe. Why would this god even interact with its creation? Or care?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
