Quote:To create necessitates a positive force.

But God created evil. Isn't this somewhat less positive than NOT creating evil?

Even if we accept (which I do not) that human beings, as ostensibly free moral agents, are responsible for moral evil, there is also natural evil to consider. I find it difficult to imagine that the creator of the Universe can NOT be held responsible for natural evil.
