 Of course, if God exists, then any evil state of affairs, \(s\), which is incompatible with a maximally good world is impossible. And if \(s\) is impossible, then neither God nor any other agent has the power to bring it about that \(s\) obtains. God would lack the power to bring it about that \(s\) obtains because of his moral perfection, and any created agent would lack the power to bring it about that \(s\) obtains either because (i) God would not create an agent who had the power to bring it about that \(s\) obtains, or (ii) God would not permit any created agent to bring it about that \(s\) obtains. Thus, to the extent indicated, if God’s attributes impose moral restrictions on the nature of the universe and on what he can bring about, then they impose parallel restrictions on what any other agents can bring about.
