Aren't some things so evil, that maybe creation was not such a good idea?

Question

God must have known what humans were capable of when He created the heavens & earth etc.
Of course there are many wonderful things, but does this justify the creation of life when there are so many horrible, horrible things such as the abduction, murder, and/or rape of a child.

Even if everything balances out or there is much more good in the world that justifies the evil, still, to create a world when you knew such things could (and would) happen does not make sense (regardless of free will).

Answer 1

God (if he exists) invented viruses. Viruses make people suffer. Ergo, god isn't loving.

Answer 2

ANGELS AND MAN ARE CREATED

The heavens and the earth have been given no set time by God. May he expected man to be smart enough to figure it out.
Job 38:4-7 Angels see the earth in preparation for habitation.
John 17:3,5,24; Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14; Jesus was with God before the world was.
Gen.6:2,3;
Evil, rights violated and violence began early with angels. This violence was destroyed in a flood.
Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4 These angels face Judgement. 1Cor.6:2,3 Judges.
Gen.8:21; The imaginations of man's heart is evil from his youth.
The flood ended that evil, but there would be more to come.
Matt.24:3,7 Wars to major WW1 and WW2 will be along with a raging planet.
The life sustaining earth was lost in the flood.
The life sustaining earth, no longer had life to sustain.

Life is short and full of trouble, the best here is no much, every day man knows one truth, he will die.

The truth man should keep in mind for rape, evil and harm to a child is that he has got to face the judgement day. Heb.9:27; He has got to answer for his behavior.

Answer 3

Are you NUTS??? The world and the universe are marvelous places. There are problems, but they are not the definition of the planet or the universe. The only reason to feel so disheartened by the issues of abduction, murder, and child rape is that you believe that some deity created it.

Instead I think it's amazing that in the course of the billions of galaxies that each contains billions of stars, many of which have planets around them, this little blue dot has developed the capacity to contain life at all. Some of it is cruel, but its existence is mighty incredible.

Answer 4

The world keeps on turning and for the most part people have very good lives. We must be ever vigilant and keep on fighting the evil in the world. OO

Answer 5

So what are you saying? That we shouldn't exist because of all the bad things that we are capable of? That doesn't make sense at all. Evil must exist to counterpart good, and vice-versa. For how would you know what good is if you had nothing to compare it to?
