A lot of people ask themselves...If God is all powerful and loving, then why is there evil and suffering in the world. Evil as in crime and murder and suffering as in earthquakes, hurricanes or even an illness. What I have learned in my R.E lesson is that if there is no evil and suffering, there is no generosity in the world and the best thing I like about Islam is that most of it is to do about thinking less about yourself and thinking more about others. Most important is to give to charity. If there is no suffering, there is no charity, and if there is no charity, less people will think about others.
Usually suffering is the result of committing some evil act. Our conscience gets the beter of us and so we suffer from guilt at having committed evil.
People may reject belief in God if they hear or see of evil and suffering because they are told he is omnipotent, omnibenevolent and onmiscience. So if they are told he is all of these then why cant he stop the evil and suffering?

Conscious evil is the same as moral evil, which is contrasted to ontological evil. Ontological evil is not due to human agency; it occurs when human suffering is caused by natural events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Moral or conscious evil is due to human agency; it occurs when a human being causes human suffering. .
A:In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but 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. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.

because there is evil in the world
He gave his creation free choice this is his will. Some have chosen evil and that is why suffering exists. The parable of the weeds and the wheat discusses why God allows evil to exist.
Cyril S. Rodd has written: 'Why evil and suffering?' -- subject(s): Christian life, Good and evil, Religious aspects, Religious aspects of Suffering, Suffering 'Psalms 73-150' -- subject(s): Bible
Christians do not believe God participated in any problems of evil and suffering. The Scripture clearly shows that it was/is man's choice to depart from God and His Law of Righteousness to follow the god of this world - ha Satan who is the main cause of evil and suffering in this world.
Evil and suffering is against human nature and causes problems for all it touches, regardless of religious beliefs. Evil simply goes against society as most know it and suffering holds people back.
No, scientifically these are not recognised to exist so they can not be cured.
