“Would it spoil some Vast Eternal Plan” if you had never existed? Well, Yes it would! This is the first video of “Does God Need Glasses” a series of seven about how God still be good even though He’s the creator of a world gone so wrong that now it’s a total mix-up of good-and-evil.
“The Problem of Evil”, -can an easy-to-understand answer be found to it? Yes! clear away the folk-lore and read the Creation Stories the way they are really intended: as Philosophical parables!
They show how God can be good and creator of all things, and not be the creator of Evil. Each part is something to think about, yet makes up a part of a bigger thread of ideas.
I have deliberately kept them as short and simple as reasonable, -this is not enough to cover the subject in depth- but enough to get through easily and grasp the point. In any case, length and academic wording are not the same as profundity.
At the end of the day, however, there is only one important thing to make your mind up about - and only you can do it for yourself: Not “what -ism is this?", "who influenced it?" or “what background does this person have?" but the ultimate question that finally matters and the only truly valid ground for accepting, rejecting or believing anything at all: "Is This True?"
