The problem of evil

[William]

Q: Is the statement "Then there is "The problem of evil"" one of fact or conjecture? [science or opinion] In realty, does such a problem actually exist?

The problem of evil refers to the challenge of reconciling belief in an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient God, with the existence of evil and suffering in the world. eta:{SOURCE}

Atheist: [Statements about the Bible and stuff like that]

Theist: I don't think there is anything in the Bible to support that claim.

William: Maybe it isn't really a claim but just a statement of opinion...

Opinion is that which has yet to be established as a matter of fact

No.That isn't wisdom. It is knowledge. Something is known. Wisdom is understanding and the Bible has never been great on understanding. It rather shakes its' head over Understanding and the Wise, and prefers unquestioning trust in whatever they are told to do, like little children.

Without getting into the whole Eden fairy story and how (if one credited it) it had to be set up by God to make sure humans sinned and died, the message is, don't think and do what you are told. Anything else is sin. Of course, I reckon the whole thing is to get over the problem of Evil. God's creation has to be perfect, so why isn't it? Answer - blame Man. The story designed to make Man to blame for Evil, is not only wrong (according to science) but incredibly shoddy, but that has never bothered the believers.

Yes, and also the serpent who became or was also Satan. It's not God's fault the serpent (who God put in the garden) deceived them. So, its human's and Satan's fault. God remains the ultimate Teflon don. Or even later during the flood and other genocides, the Teflon Hitler character.

I am an atheist in relation to anyone's interpretation of characterizations of any gods.

I lack belief in those gods so much, that interpretation of characterizations of those gods is beside the point.
