Evil is the absence of goodness, whether (largely) in, say, Auschwitz and the Gulag and the souls of those who built them or (wholly) in Hell.
There is a difference between the infinite kindness and mercy of God and the absence of such qualities in a dictator.
BTW those in Hell are there...
Evil is the work of Satan and the other angels who tried to depose God, but failed.
God = Goodness (and Goodness = God, God being the only source of Goodness).
The moment that God "took a nap" would be the moment the universe instantly disappeared, like a soap bubble.

No - not anti-science, but anti-Scientism.
Scientism being the idolatrous worship of Science as a false god that has all the answers.
And can be vainly appealed to in attempts to disprove traditional Christian beliefs.
Why ? The foetus is as much a human being as she is.
Merely less powerful.
You argument is only permissible in the (rare) cases of life versus life, where NOT aborting the foetus would DIRECTLY cause the mother's death.
No one, of course, has the right to kill another person in order to...

And how is abortion liberal or "progressive" ?? - the murder of unwanted babies is fascist in the highest degree.
Except for the purposes of real life ! - no one can live a life on the basis of "Maybe" or "Perhaps" unless they are very sheltered.
Which is why agnosticism is a belief confined to the comfortable classes of the world's rich nations.
So - if the universe didn't create itself and wasn't created by chance - how come it exists ?
Which is, of course, a philosophical question unanswerable by science (still less by those pretending a knowledge of science).
To say that a philosophical question is unanswerable is Obscurantism or...
