The problem of evil is the idea that humans and other living things continue to deal with all sorts of evil. Pain, sickness, suffering, and death are all forms of evil that living beings endure. The challenge of evil can also be seen through opinions on if a God exists. Some believe God would not allow evil to exist in a perfect world. David Hume argued, “against the existence that there is an all-good, all- powerful being” (Velasquez 276). To Hume, the idea that the Creator of the universe is a perfect, wise, and powerful being was not something he could get around. He did not believe that a “benevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent God, would allow evil to be in the world” (Velasquez 277).
