The occurrence of evils in the world has been a basis for saying that teleological arguments for divine existence are inconclusive. Many think that evil constitutes a problem for ethical monotheists.
Not everyone has a problem with "evil." Any number of negative religious thinkers, atheists, if you please, think that ethical monotheists who use the teleological arguments do have a problem.
Their only argument they have is that if one grants that the world is designed and that its character reveals its designer's character, then one must ask - "Given the way the world is, what must its designer be like?"
