The argument from natural evil

The argument from natural evil, in its most basic form, states that if there is an omniGod (a being that is omniscient, omnipotent, and perfectly good) then there would be no natural evil in the world, but because there is natural evil in the world, an omniGod does not exist. A theodicy is a form of argument that tries to deal with the problem that natural evil poses. A theodicy will offer justifications for God …

…would be logically impossible without the existence of some corresponding natural evils. Absorption theodicies fail in that they ignore the existence of moral evils that could fulfil the same purpose. A Biblical perspective on natural evils avoids the problems posed by bother Free Will theodicies and Absorption theodicies but does not provide a sound justification or argument in Gods favour for the existence of natural evils as they are based on faith and not reason.
