The problem of evil is one of the most troublesome problems that faces anyone that believes that there exists an all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful God who created the world we inhabit.
premise 1. An all good, all knowing, and all powerful God exists
2. There exists evil in the world
The existence of evil in the world does not logically exclude the existance of God, but such evil makes it extremely improbably that God exists. Statement (2) should be thought of as strong evidence against statement (1)
From this arguement many(I included) believe that it is quite unreasonable and illogical to believe in God as we know him.
But if anyone thinks that they can give a good objection to this arguement I would be quite interested, as would many others
