Does Evil exists?

Discussion in 'Philosophy & Religion' started by wind2000, Sep 16, 2007.

  1. ^ how do we know Unicorns dont exist, im pretty sure the idea came from somewhere so i think there is some truth in it?, until the entire world has been explored i dont think we can say it doesnt exist.

    i remember reading about explorers who were looking at an area in Africa, in the marshes in the congo or something, they said they found certain dinosours in the lakes, but it wasnt accepted as it would mess with the whole evolution thing.

    then there are the giants of the Solomon islands.. thats a whole next level.

    Do some research. youll see many things, just depends on were you place you faith, for the most part all we know is what weave been told.

    But that's not I'm really trying to said,
    Likewise, "Pokemon, or Dragon Ball Z" are words, but they don't exist... and hope you ain't going to argue with me on this...
     
  3. lol AC0110 makes a serious point.


    now if you can prove to me Pokemon exists, I will start my journey to becoming the worlds GREATEST POKEMON TRAINER!!

    pokemon is a cartoon.
     
  5. i think there has been a misuderstanding, i dont understand why the burden of proving a cartoon to be real has been put on me, i was talking about unicorns and other animals but somehow this has been swayed to cartoons.. hmmmm


    if DBZ was real that would be awesome cus taking part in those fights would be pretty epic.

    the dragon bal live actionl movie is going to fail though :(
     
  9. No shit. I have Pikachus running around in my backyard.

    Well, the argument by sfucal was that if something exists in vocabulary form, in other words, a word, then it exists in real life.

    Now I disproved that theory using a counter example.
     

  10. lol i seen the pics, its gona be worse than street figher the movie, im sure a fan can make a better home movie.
     
  11. this thread has already failed for going off track.

    In order to even address this questioon of whether evil exist, isn't it appropriate to first define what is the meaning of evil. Is eating another human being evil? The answer depends on who this question is directed to. If you ask the headhunters of PNG who by tradition are cannabilistic, their answer is probably no. The primary question instead is who determines evil from good? Is it the majority?

    In fact, the arqument has been used that because evil exist therefore God cannot exist as God being good should not allow evil to exist has been used to advance the view of the non existent of God. However it is this very proposition that proves rather than dis-prove the existent of God. In order to differentiate between good and evil there must be a moral authority to make that judgment. If there is evil then by default there is a moral judge. If not go back to the arqument about the headhunters because it then becomes a point of view rtaher than a moral judgment of good vs. evil.

    How?
    It may be his fault that we were thrown out of Eden but it was in exchange for knowledge.
    Overall he mainly acted like a "seacher of men's sins" and not "creator of men's sins".

    Define evil is impossibel (at least at our current level of intelligents). If there was a answer I believe that the "experts" (professors in religion, sociology, phsycology ect.) already had found it.

    Err, I think eating another human being is rather a stupid example. However let say if eating human being is the norm thing to do. Eventually there won't be anymore human being for you to eat. Thus it would be rather illogical to eat another human being.
