Summary

This quote from the movie "The Ninth Configuration" explores the concept of believing in the existence of God based on the presence of evil and goodness in the world. Colonel Kane questions Captain Cutshaw, who asserts that the existence of evil is proof that God is dead. Colonel Kane challenges this belief, suggesting that if evil can be seen as evidence against God's existence, then the presence of goodness should be considered evidence for His existence. It invites the reflection of how one's perspective can shape their interpretation of divine presence amidst the contrasting experiences of good and evil.
