Sometimes I've struggled with trying to get a better handle on how a material sense of man and the universe originated in the first place. Where does material existence, which includes suffering, sin, and death, come from? If evil isn't real, as Christian Science teaches, why do we have to deal with it? If God is everywhere, why aren't we living in a perfect world?
A1 These are great questions, tough ones, but really good ones to explore—ones I've wrestled with myself.
Through my study and practice of Christian Science, I know that there is only one God, who is the only Creator, the only power. And all that God creates is absolutely good. So it's only logical that evil is nowhere, has no origin, no creator, and is actually nothing. And nothing is not a something that can be explained.
