Why does God not destroy evil from the face of the earth?

A:

There is a philosophical argument called the problem of evil and suffering. The problem asks if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all.

If God can not be considered all-powerful, all-knowing and all good, then perhaps he is not a god at all. Perhaps he was created by man to meet a perceived spiritual need and we should not expect God to solve our problems.

Answer 2

The typical religious answer to the problem of evil is to argue that the evil in the world is man's perception of the troubles in his life requisite to helping him develop the moral fortitude to better himself.

God destroyed the world in the flood during Noah time. _____________ God decides to destroy the world by flood because of human wickedness and violence.

Why does the speaker prefer the world to end in fire?

I'm am going to assume by speaker you mean God. In the Old Testament God destroyed the Earth once by flood (water). He promised that He would not do that again. Hence, the fire. It is partly symbolic, fire being a purifier. The fire will destroy all evil and purify the Earth for the faithful.
