Hydra, thank you for that thoughtful reply. However, your solution doesn't entail a contradiction if you allow that although She is omnipotent, once having created the Universe She observes a hands-off policy, simply choosing to perform no further miracles whatever, allowing everything to take place according to the laws of physics and chance

In which case She just sits back and watches

As to whether She can perform evil, how about a tsunami that wipes out a quarter of a million people. (If you create a rock that orbits around a hydrogen bomb, you will necessarily have to tolerate an occasional unfortunate incident such as an earthquake)

But personally I can't see why She should be more concerned with morality than with other aspects of the Universe, such as logic and arithmetic. If you would care to pursue this subject, I am dalehileman@verizon.net and don't care who knows it
