Supposedly.
So here is the story, I was in class and my teacher told me his theory, it sounded familiar but not sure from where. So here is his theory, or maybe it's not his, maybe he just likes it.
He says that there is no such thing as darkness, just the absence of light. There is no cold, just the absence of heat. And that there is no Evil jus the absence of(feel free to put whatever in this blank)_______(God, Allah, Yaweh IDK).
Well that's the theory so anybody here agree or disagree?
It seems simple enough to me so what are your opinions?

if there was no evil, everything would be good or neutral...
but not everything is that way, so there is evil...
However some people think of it as where there is light, there is no darkness...something like that

So what you are saying is that darkness is the absence of light, and cold is the absence of heat. But the evil and good can't be compared in the same way. I think I might agree.

I guess this is right. I can't disagree with this.

If there is no Evil, there is no Good


But how can this be? We define our acts as right or wrong. Good or evil. Your arguement is true if all things are equal. This is human nature we're dealing with, nothing is equal thus good and evil exist.
