Evil is the absence of good, or better, evil is the absence of God. God did not have to create evil, but rather only allow for the absence of good.
Kwa hivyo uovu ni kutokuwa na wema, ama uzuri, uovu ni kukosekana na uwepo wa Mungu. Haikumlazimu Mungu kuumba uovu, lakini kuhurusu uovu kwa kukosa kwa wema.
