If we were to classify some dysfunctions and anomalies into a few basic categories and examine the structure of the arguments that are said to lead from their occurrence, one might conclude that no God exists. There are rebuttals to such arguments.
The many things said to be wrong with the world fall into three basic types.
- There are bad individuals who do bad things. Some are public and some are private figures.
- There are bad social phenomena
- There are bad "natural" phenomena
If we take this seriously, we must also take this argument seriously - anything that deserves worship is non-contingent and flawless. If the world is designed and flawed, then its designer is flawed and, consequently, does not deserve worship. If there is a flawless designer, then there is a flawless world.
