Brilliant new apologetic fact

[Pyrrho]

Having a discussion on another forum, I am astounded at the following argument:

God created everything, but he didn't create diseases/cancer etc because these aren't "things".

So we end up with both the claim that everything must have been designed due to blah blah blah, followed by "except all the bad bits which weren't designed".

Interestingly enough, the Bible itself says this is not the case:

Isaiah 45:7:
I form the light and create darkness,
I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the Lord, do all these things.

Evil is not the absence of good, and darkness is not the absence of light. Most importantly, God says he created it all.

You have just illustrated why it is good for atheists to read the Bible. That way, they can point out the fact that Christians almost universally ignore it, regardless of whatever pretenses they might make.

For an easy way to find some interesting bits, one can visit:

However, one should take care and read the bits to which it refers when reading about the contradictions or whatever, as the maker of the site seems to have gotten carried away occasionally.
