Not at all. The Problem of Evil is a very real issue that must be confronted and reconciled with other claims about the Divine. My position is that the problem is not insurmountable. The believer can show that proposed solutions are consistent with the doctrines of faith. While many of the proposed solutions are themselves speculative, the objections raised are every bit as speculative. Thus the issue remains without a definitive answer. On its own, the existence of evil is not sufficient to refute the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God.
