Think of it like someone creating a painful disease, because without this disease people (who have yet to be created, too) could never experience the great feeling of recovering and the relief from this pain. That is perfectly reasonable isn´t it?Mortensen said:
God allowed evil, because without the option for evil there couldn´t be good...no wait, God was already perfectly good before creating anything and before evil existed.
God changed a perfect state into one that was necessarily and foreknowable non-perfect.
God created physical existence, although it would come with a lot of disadvantages compared to mere "spiritual" existence, which had already proven to be reconcilable with "good existing without evil", with perfection.
God allowed evil in order to make growth possible - a growth that wouldn´t even be necessary without evil being there.
God created evil so that there could be love - love, that would be completely uneccesary if evil wouldn´t be there.
No matter how I turn it, it doesn´t make any sense to me.
God created a problem in order to make a solution of this problem possible, which would have been completely unecessary, hadn´t he created (or allowed, as some people prefer to put it) the problem.
