Most people know about the Dead Sea Scrolls and how they were accidentally discovered in 1947 by a Bedouin shepherd boy in a cave at Khirbet Qumran on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. They are believed to have been placed there around AD 70-73 by a Jewish Sect called the Essenes before the Romans destroyed Qumran. Inside the cave large clay jars were discovered that contained ancient scrolls with Hebrew text written on them.

Many archaeological discoveries have validated the existence of four key figures (Jesus, Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate and Herod Antipas) involved in the trial of Jesus documented in the four Gospels. 

I was thinking about the following two scripture verses and realized that my Faith in God is reasonable and not blind. It is based on concrete evidence such as archaeological artifacts and ancient texts validating people, places and events mentioned in the Bible.

^"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18)

^"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" (1 Peter 3:15) 

Evil is not a thing or an entity, it is the absence of good. It is a corruption of something good; such as when a beautiful car gets marred  by rust. There is natural evil such as tornados, earthquakes, drought, etc. and there is moral evil such as infidelity in a marriage, serial killers, and mass murders.
