 Suppose that God exists and that some other person, for example, Cain, brings it about that an evil, \(E\), exists. There are two possibilities that need to be considered here. The first is that Cain’s decisions and actions are causally determined, as are all occurrences in the created universe. Then, given our assumptions, since Cain’s bringing it about that \(E\) exists is necessary for some good which more than compensates for \(E\)’s existence, it is consistent with God’s moral perfection that God [remotely] brings it about that Cain brings it about that \(E\) exists.
