Does Evil Exist????????
Does evil exist, or is evil really the absence of God? Let me explain!
Studying refrigeration theory years ago when I was operations manager for a refrigeration installation company, I found out that there is no such thing as "cold"! It is really only the absence of heat! There are differing degrees of heat which determines how cold it is. You can generate heat by striking a match or rubbing your hands together, but you can't generate cold!
The way an airconditioner works is that hot air is directed through coils and a fan blows away the heat from the coils leaving cold air to blow back into your home. The absence of heat leaves cold.
In the same sense darkness is the absence of light. There are differing degrees of light. Light can be generated lighting a fire or by electricity make a bulb element glow. You can't generate darkness. You can only turn off the light!
Could evil be like cold and darkness? Otherwise, since God created everything, he also created evil!!! I don't believe that evil is a creation of God, but evil is the absence of God. When God is taken away from his creation, the void left is evil!
Thoughts?
