    About this ebook

    The question is simple. How can God be all knowing, benevolent and omnipotent and yet evil on this earth to exhibit such a powerful presence in all our lives. Why don’t we live in a perfect world without injustice, poverty, death and abuse of the innocent? Surely an all-powerful God could easily prevent every wrongdoing and even the fall of man, so if he allows evil one of the divine qualities attributed to him must be flawed or not exist at all. Maybe there is no God and all this chaos is what one would expect in a world created by pure chance. Or not.
