The problem of evil posits that evil and suffering can only exist in a universe created by an omnipotent/omniscient god if that god either intentionally designed it that way, or if that god is neglectful. A good and attentive god with omnimax qualities (in terms of power and knowledge, not benevolence) is logically invalid if our universe is his creation.
