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.
