[QUOTE="ByAnyOtherName, post: 76695663, member: 415464"] In this universe, we understand things by their distinction from other things. We know good by its distinction from evil. I don't know why this is the way the universe is arranged, but it is. God, the author of the universe, made it so; therefore because of His creation, evil, the absence of good, exists, although the absence of a thing can be argued not to exist at all. Does darkness exist, or is it just the absence of light? In the beginning, God created the universe. Before the universe, there was nothing but darkness and the waters. I too enjoy the symbolic nuance of scripture, and believe that the waters may represent the Love of God for His creation. Therefore, before the Light, there was darkness, but there was also Love. He loved His creation, so He created it. [/QUOTE]
