Let's assume God exists, and that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent.

-An omnibenevolent being would want to prevent all evils.
-An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence, and knows every way in which those evils could be prevented.
-An omnipotent being has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence.
-A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil.
-If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God, then no evil exists.

However, there is evil in the world.

Therefore, an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God does not exist.

Ever heard of Deism?
