Yonas asked:

Is there going to be a serious problem regarding the presence of evil and the rationality belief in God?
Where can I get more information regarding this issue problem of evil?

============

You are talking about the 'Problem of Evil' which has been much discussed by theologians and
philosophers. The problem arises in the following way. God, as traditionally conceived is all-powerful,
all-good and all-knowing. Because he is all-knowing he cannot be ignorant of any evil that occurs in
the world. Because he is all-good, he cannot prefer a world with evil to a world without evil. Because
he is all-powerful, he is capable of eradicating any evil that occurs. Yet surely there are evils in the
world. Natural evils - flood, famine, and other natural disasters. And moral evils, such as rape, torture,
enslavement. It follows that God, as defined above, cannot exist.

There are a number of different strategies for attempting to defeat this argument. I think the weakest
link in the argument is the idea that being 'all powerful' means being able to do anything WE imagine
to be possible. We imagine a world where there is 'no evil'. Yet that is a world where many valuable
things that exist in this world would be missing: courage in the face of adversity, for example, or the
moral virtue in resisting the temptation to evil. If you take something valuable away from the world
then surely that too is an 'evil'. Some form of 'evil' cannot be avoided either way. I also think that the
very idea that you could create intelligent creatures who were capable of doing right or wrong but who
always and without exception chose to do right is itself very close to being a logical absurdity.

Two books you might look for are M.M. Adams and R.M. Adams collection of philosophical readings
entitled 'The Problem of Evil' (Oxford 1990) and Richard Swinburne's book 'The Existence of God'
(Oxford 1979).
