    Can’t have light without dark. Can’t have good without evil. Otherwise you just have boring stagnation. God likes chaos and excitement, not boring safety.

      Why can’t you have light without dark? If you sped up all the molecules in the universe to the point that they were all radiating heat, you would have light without dark.

        Plus, admitting that God cannot create light without dark or good without evil means admitting God is not omnipotent.

        Only if that heat radiation would be evenly distributed - otherwise you would have a gradient which still results in duality of light/dark

        There are also places that are relatively empty, which would result in a more typical darkness

        Also, speeding everything in existence up to the point of luminance is kind of tricky, what with natural law and all

        Radiation is vibration which is subject to destructive interference which means there will always be some dark spots, relatively speaking.

        Unless God just had a single source with absolutely no barriers or observers. I can see why that God would get bored and invent some drama 😆

      Christians: God is Lawful Good.
      God: Actually more like Chaotic Neutral.
