This whole "darkness is the absence of light" argument contradicts the fact that God is omnipresent.

The Bible says "where shall I go and God is not there? If I make my bed in Sheol behold, God is there". What they are saying is that because God is absent, not there, then evil some how spontaneously generates.

For this argument to be true several things have to be true:

1. Some other entity is responsible for evil.

Therefore you have more than one creator, whoever it is that created whatever it is that "tainted" man and made him evil.

2. Deny the Lordship of God. Jesus is Lord. That is today. I can pray to Him and I have an advocate. The buck stops with Him. He is above all.

But according to this doctrine Jesus is not responsible, not in this age. That is to deny the Lordship of Jesus.

3. Deny that God is omnipresent.

4. Fudge that God is omniscient. He doesn't actually foresee all things, He simply knows that some things are possible and "could happen".

But there is another problem as well. Take Oskar Schindler. This is the adulterous man who took all of his money and exchanged it for Jews who were destined for the gas chamber. The Jews honor him greatly as a righteous man, a man of faith.

But none of the glory of that faith would have been revealed had it not been for Hitler and the gas chambers.
