Why God Allows Evil Swinburne defends the view that the existence of evil in the world is consistent with the existence of an omnipotent‚ perfectly good God. Not only are they consistent‚ he argues‚ but the amount of good in the world requires the possibility of substantial evil.

What/who is God? God The existence of the world and everything in it can only be explained if there is a God who is the first cause. Aquinas states that it is impossible for any being to be the efficient cause of itself because then it would have to bring itself into being‚ and to bring itself into being‚ it would have to exist before it existed.
