Metaphysical evil consists in imperfections, physical evil in suffering and other like troubles, and moral evil in sin. All these evils exist in God's work; Lucretius thence inferred that there is no providence, and he denied that the world can be an effect of divinity: Naturam rerum divinitus esse creatam; because there are so many faults in the nature of things,

Birds of a feather flock together. Malum est negotium et est timendum rerum istarum horrendissimum resultatum! Ahem!"
