Despite countless technological and scholastic advancements over the last several centuries, the argument for or against the existence of God has yet to significantly favor one side or the other. Intellectuals to this day still debate arguments proposed by Hume and Saint Anselm and, despite finding many counters and arguments to these proposals, have yet to deny or prove God's existence. One central idea rests upon proving or disproving the three ideas concerning a "god." These ideas are that God should be wholly good, God should be omnipotent, and yet evil still exists. Initially, the argument is theoretically contradictory as is, as a wholly good omnipotent god would not allow evil to exist. However, by choosing any two of these qualities, God can exist in that form without opposing its own design. Therefore, allowing for neutral god or a god not entirely bent on goodness, an individual can then attempt to explain the existence of God without contradictions. The power of god then cannot be called into question and then this idea of "evil" can be explained simply by accepting that God does not interfere and make sure that world is perfect. Essentially, the readily obvious and logical solution to God's existence is to accept him as more of a neutral observer than an all holy God intervening God.
