First, define it if you can. I have never seen a definition that is coherent. Please don't say the absence of good because that requires that one define good which has its problems too. For example, everything in this physical existence is deficient. So everything is evil.
Second, would an existence that was a sure thing be meaningless and something that a creator would not provide? So maybe an existence that is free from unwanted outcomes would be meaningless. What purpose would it provide? It would actually indicate there was no creator.
"there really isn’t an argument against God that establishes atheism"
Atheism is intellectually bankrupt despite the wide spread acceptance of it. There is no coherent argument for it. Certainly the so-called problem of evil is not a reason for accepting atheism.
The problem of evil is non existent issue!
