The world, we are told, was created by a God who is all good, all powerful and everywhere. Before He created the world He foresaw all the pain, misery, suffering and evil that it would contain. He is therefore, responsible for all of it. It is useless to argue that the pain, suffering and evil in the world is due to sin. If God knew in advance the sins of which man would be guilty, He is therefore responsible for all the consequences of these sins when he decided to created man.
If this being (God) is everywhere and all powerful, then every incident, every occurrence, including every human action (and inaction), every human thought, and every human feeling, dream and aspiration is also His work. How is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty being?
