I disagree with your second paragraph. I don&#x27;t see how humanity being a product of time and chance implies that evil is an illusion. For instance, I think the claim &quot;suffering is bad&quot; is true regardless of whether a God or chance created humans.<p>This is a frequent misconception though. See the Euthyphro dilemma for a rebuttal. TLDR: are things right&#x2F;wrong because god says so, or does God say so because they are right&#x2F;wrong. The former implies a completely arbitrary morality. The later implies that morality is independent from God.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;plato.stanford.edu&#x2F;entries&#x2F;metaethics&#x2F;#EutPro" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;plato.stanford.edu&#x2F;entries&#x2F;metaethics&#x2F;#EutPro</a>
