1. If God made all things and called them good, then where did Satan come from?
2. Was the devil formed by God, or did God just permit a rebel angel to exist?
3. Why would a good God allow Satan to tempt Adam and Eve in the garden?
4. Knowing it would ruin creation, did God set the first humans up to fail?
5. If God is all-powerful, why does Satan still hold real power over the world?
6. And why does the adversary even challenge God, as we read in the book of Job?
7. Isaiah says that God creates darkness, yet the New Testament calls Him pure light.
8. Does the same God then author both the dark and the light at the very same time?
9. If God is only light, why use darkness as a tool of judgement or of hiding?
10. How is a world begun in shadow consistent with a God who is wholly good?
11. Why does a loving God invent a place of endless torment that we call hell?
12. Is punishing short finite sins with infinite pain a just or a cruel design?
13. If God knew, before time, who would end in hell, why make them at all?
14. Would mercy not spare them the endless suffering of a fate He foresaw?
15. James says God tempts no one, yet the garden shows Him allowing temptation.
16. Why test such fragile creatures in ways that lead so often to their ruin?
17. Why plant a tree of knowledge, forbid it, then judge naive new humans for eating?
18. They could not yet tell good from evil, so how was the command fair to them?
19. After the fall, God curses the serpent, the woman, and the man that He made.
20. Is it just to punish every later child for the mistake of one ancient pair?
21. If Adam and Eve were truly innocent, not knowing good from evil at all.
22. How was their first choice truly free, or truly blameworthy in His sight?
23. In the great flood, God drowns almost all life because of human sin on earth.
24. Is a world-wide slaughter a just reply, or does it break a merciful God?
25. God burns Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground, yet says He hates the death of the wicked.
26. Are these fiery judgements of cities consistent with His claimed mercy?
27. If God foresees each sin and knows the final fate of every single soul.
28. How is the later judgement fair, or the staged trial anything but decided?
29. Revelation says that Satan is defeated and bound by the hand of God.
30. Then why does the world still groan with evil, and the foe still seem abroad?
31. Could an all-good God not have made a world without the fall or the tree?
32. Without a serpent, without Satan, without this risky garden design at all?
33. If Satan is the very one who tempts lost souls down the long road to hell.
34. Why does God uphold a system where the tempter's victims are the ones blamed?
35. Why allow the devil to roam and wreck lives if God could chain him now?
36. And if hell is real, why warn so late, and so unclearly, across the earth?
37. With Satan, darkness, hell, and judgement, is this the work of a good God?
38. If God is all-powerful and all-good, why does evil exist?
39. If everything that begins needs a cause, what caused God, and if He needs no cause, why must the universe?
40. Does this stop the chain by force, or merely move the regress?
41. Why do Genesis 1 and 2 give different creation orders, animals before humans, man first?
42. And how can both accounts be true at the same time?
43. If Scripture says God made everything good at the beginning, how does that fit the tree of knowledge?
44. And the tempter, which plants the very chance of evil in creation?
45. If God created all things, did He also create evil, and if so, how can He be called good?
46. If the Big Bang explains the universe's beginning through physics, why is God still a needed cause?
47. And if God sits outside of time, how does beginning apply to Him?
48. If God on purpose made the natural world we see, why is it full of predation and parasitism?
49. And disasters, plus the long pain of animal suffering?
50. If God made all things good at the very beginning, where did evil first come from?
51. Before creation, within it, or built into it by the Creator?
52. The Bible says creation took just six days, but science says about thirteen point eight billion years.
53. Does the Bible then contradict itself on the beginning, and does the evidence clash with faith?
54. Isaiah forty-five seven says God creates evil; Genesis one thirty-one says all was very good.
55. James one thirteen says He cannot be tempted by any evil, so the texts conflict on His nature.
56. Do these Bible verses contradict themselves about God?
57. If an all-good God created everything, He authored the very conditions for evil.
58. With billions of years of animal suffering before humans, free will cannot explain it.
59. So is His goodness then logically incoherent at its core?
60. God called creation very good in Genesis one thirty-one, yet Scripture says He creates evil.
61. In Isaiah forty-five seven; He also hardens Pharaoh's heart, and sends a lying spirit.
62. In First Kings twenty-two twenty-three, do these contradict His good character?
63. At the beginning God called creation very good, as Genesis one thirty-one records.
64. Yet the Bible says He creates evil, and gives two clashing accounts of creation.
65. Science shows some thirteen point eight billion years of suffering before human sin.
66. This claim clashes straight against the idea that death only came through Adam's fall.
67. A God who creates evil, and a cosmos of pre-human pain, contradicts His own nature.
68. He is said to be omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and all-knowing at the same time.
69. So how can the God who made all things stay consistent with His written word?
70. With the evidence we see, and His own proclaimed goodness as well?
