Such is only reasonable as long as one maintains that God is necessarily (1) omniscient, (2) omnipotent, and (3) perfectly benevolent (4) in a world where evil exists. Without any one of these four components, the problem is solved.

Even disregarding those points, I don't see how it uses reason to say a supernatural being magically created us. Period. One does not use reason to reach that conclusion.
That being said, I appreciate your being polite about this, as not all hav

WHAT about your answer is logical? Do you know what logic is? You can't give a LOGICAL answer in one sentence comprised of FIVE words! If you don't believe in God ... PLEASE ... I BEG OF YOU ... give a defense for that belief / position ... otherwise how could anyone agree with you? I challenge you to bring us a BETTER defense.

I am not sure why you want me to make a logical answer in five words. This has a few more than five: I have seen no proof of the existence of god. I think it's a sound practice to examine evidence and make decisions based on that, and that's what I have done.
The only reason I responded to Quaternity was because I though s/he was making assertions based on no evidence at all. If god does exist, then how would he or she know whether god is omniscient, benevolent, etc.?
Finally, Brian, I would ask you to keep it polite. Being impolite doesn't help your case.

I apologize for being impolite. That is definitely one of my HUGE flaws.
