Maybe this was a joke, but you *do* realize that this was taken from a work of fiction? (_Candide_, which was a satire of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz' philosophy.) Leibnitz claimed, in _Theodicee_, that the presence of evil in God's Creation does not mean that God is not perfect, which was lampooned into 1. God created the world 2. God is perfect 3. Creation is perfect as possible In other words, neither Voltaire nor Leibnitz ever really claimed that "this is the best of all possible worlds." Perhaps this area would make an interesting research project, too. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
