The argument has been said: If God is all good and all powerful why does He allow bad things to happen? Since bad things do happen, if there is a God, He is either not all good or He is not all powerful.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson – uses this argument.

There’s an adage: Just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should.

Two statements that’ll land me in hot water:

1. God is not in control … by His choice!
2. The presence of evil in the world is evidence that God is a loving God.

Free will… to prevent evil is to take away free will.
