The Argument from Evil and the Refutation of Theism

The problem of evil is the problem of logical coherence. That if God and the universe were by nature good in terms of being about life then the universe would start and end with a state of perfection.


Family togetherness proves that all the defences and theodicies against evil are logically inconsistent with the facts. Families would just exist that enjoy perfect harmony and happiness as meaningful in itself without suffering. To say otherwise would assume that evil was really good in and of itself and not in need of change. 


Perfection would be perfect and not capable of imperfection. 


This means that it logically follows that the true nature of the universe is mechanical and impersonal and wasn't created for life but just exists to exist. 


It implies that if God exists that he arose from the indifference as a logical necessity. That the universe created God as a logical course correction because being mechanical was logically incoherent with itself. 


The best argument from evil i can come up with is how good is perfectly defined so as to observe logical incoherence with an expected observation. 


Family and friends getting together and enjoying life is the highest possible good that humans can experience as good. 


If God created the universe then there would be no obstacles to overcome to obtain that highest good. To assume otherwise would be to assume a universe that existed prior to God that God adapted to rather than create. 


But there have been and are obstacles, sometimes insurmountable as related to some human abilities. Therefore God didn't create the universe and the universe wasn't designed specifically for life. Life is just the natural consequence of indifferent logical inevitability.


The reason why this argument from evil hasn't been found is that people assumed a formless unfalsifiable definition of evil (pain and suffering) in contrast with an obvious highest good (family happiness and logical coherence.) 


It isnt the absence of good that makes evil obviously evil. 


And the fact that family togetherness isn't obvious to everyone is an evil thats logically incoherent with theism. People running around blind and doing evil because they don't know any better is evil and logically incoherent with theism.
