Also and bunny, you’re nitpicking the example instead of the principle behind it

Your example. Didn't understand the principle.
So you don't have kids. Are you a kid? Pointless talking in abstract when you don't have skin in the game.

So you’re saying a judge, if people do wrong, should not “exact vengeance” as that is weak and pathetic

First off let me just say, you are talking to another adult here, so you don’t have to be worried about hurting some kids feelings. Peer to peer, no condescending please

Where are you getting your research on irreducible complexity from? Among others, I’ve been getting mine from Dr. Jason Lisle, P.H.D. He has many interesting videos and discussions. I understand that part of atheists main strategy for arguments is putting others down and ad hominem. I try to keep the arguments about the material and not the person. I’d ask that you do the same.

Also, to clarify, I am certainly not saying that all the bad things that happen are God’s vengeance, retribution, or justice.

Also, I think the logic in your counter to the got questions post is faulty, Manatini. We are arguing that God always existed, and therefore evil has always existed, being the opposite of a perfect God that has always existed.
Also, since you are arguing that God must be logical in his justice system, you cannot counter argue that he shouldn’t be bound by logic

What about the bombardier beetle? I haven’t researched it in a while but it’s worth a read. I believe for 30 to 40 years it has been one of our main unrefuted evidences.

I merely assume you believe Evolution since the majority of Atheists do. If you don’t, we can talk about whatever else you believe, that’s cool with me

I believe you misquoted the first verse of the Bible. And even if it did say In the beginning was God, and exclusively God, I’m arguing that the very nature of God is such that evil is the opposite of him.

Why should I be arguing an illogical position? I believe you are arguing an either or fallacy here. I believe God chooses to act in a logical way. Therefore, I use logic to defend him. That is the third option

Yes, I understand you point about dualism. Yes I agree there is no evil god. A light source has no equal and opposite dark source producing dark

I have read your points. However, I don’t know if at a certain point God sat down and created Good and Evil. What if, since I believe he always has been, and never came into existence, what if he was always good and evil was always the opposite of that good.

So you’re saying if God is infinitely good there is no room for evil? Hmmmm, interesting point. Not sure if that checks out though. Just saying that he is good, makes evil. Because the term good forces an evil

Also, I’ve appreciated that we are able to talk about this logically and reasonably. Always good to have those deep discussions at 1:30 in the morning

I won’t purposely avoid your question, but I will redirect it. How do you define the word edible?

I’m going to keep all three. Thanks for anticipating the argument. I don’t understand the logic behind your lightbulb example. I mean, I see what was intended. The problem is, I agree with you. There was no darkness in the box! Because it was just a word. A definition, evil was a thing, evil just hadn’t been done yet. Good and Evil were there from the start, but evil was not a being.
