In his book, J. Roger Demosthenes, M.D. examines the titular question: why is there so much wickedness in the world? It is a query that has plagued mankind for as long as they have had the capacity to form the question. There is no shortage of explanations; from the various systems of faith of the world, from philosophies, and from scientific inquiry. Dr. Demosthenes examines each of these theories with a critical eye, debunking them one by one; until there can be only one explanation.

About the Author

J. Roger Demosthenes, M.D. has had a long history with religion. He was born and raised a Catholic, and later in life converted to two other faiths in quick succession. But his professional life as a biologist and medical doctor led him to understand that man’s behavior is better explained by science than by faith.
