Evil Doesnt Exist Without The Absense of God

1) A professor asked his students if God created everything, including evil. A student responded that evil does not truly exist, but is rather an absence. 2) The student explained that cold is not a real thing, but is instead the absence of heat. Darkness too is not real, but is an absence of light. 3) Similarly, evil is not a thing created by God, but is an absence of God. It is a result of the lack of God's love in the human heart, just as cold is the absence of heat and darkness the absence of light.

Evil does not exist without the absence of God

Why did God create evil? A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God? One student bravely answered: - Yes, created by
God. - Did God create everything? - a professor asked. “Yes, sir,” replied the student. The
professor asked : - If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And
according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil. The student became
silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to
students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and
said: - Can I ask you a question, professor? "Of course," replied the professor. A student got up
and asked: - Professor, is cold a thing? - What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you
ever been cold? Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered: -
Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is
actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits
energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter
becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word
to describe what we feel in the absence of heat. A student continued: - Professor, does darkness
exist? — Of course it exists. - You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is
actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's
prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each
color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and
illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is
presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of
light. In the end, the young man asked the professor: - Sir, does evil exist? This time it was
uncertain, the professor answered: - Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty,
numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a
manifestation of evil. To this, the student answered: - Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does
not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made
word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which
exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s
the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when
there’s absence of light.
