This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

21	    If God made all that was made, and it was good, where
  	did evil originate? 

  	    It never originated or existed as an entity. It is but a
24	false belief; even the belief that God is not what the
  	Scriptures imply Him to be, All-in-all, but that there
  	is an opposite intelligence or mind termed evil. This
27	error of belief is idolatry, having "other gods before me." 
  	In John i. 3 we read, "All things were made by Him;
  	and without Him was not anything made that was made."

 1	The admission of the reality of evil perpetuates the belief
  	or faith in evil. The Scriptures declare, "To whom ye
 3	yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are." 
  	The leading self-evident proposition of Christian Science
  	is: good being real, evil, good's opposite, is unreal. This
 6	truism needs only to be tested scientifically to be found
  	true, and adapted to destroy the appearance of evil to an
  	extent beyond the power of any doctrine previously
 9	entertained.
