Or, for that matter, good?

Or in other words, for this specific instance, why do you think a baby suffering is any different from an ant getting stepped on, or a cute little bunny rabbit getting torn to shreds and eaten by a fox?

If there is no God, there IS nothing by which to measure good or evil, nothing but your own feelings, which are meaningless churnings of chemicals in your brain.
