>>5591553> don't you think it's possible for good to come out of evil?This stems from a philosophical argument proposing that a benevolent god could allow evil if it knew there would be greater good with the evil than without.
The first rebuttal offered posited that any evil done to an innocent must necessarily outweigh any good to follow. Without this condition one can not properly define evil since one can always say that the evil was done for the greater good and therefore is also good.
As such, good may come after evil but the greatest good must always be that no evil had come in the first place.
