    SimpleLogic: They say Good always triumphs over Evil. But that ignores the fact that Evil must have first triumphed over Good

        @neiltyson If two sports teams play against each other for the first time, and one triumphs, that doesn't mean the other triumphed first.

        @met2art @neiltyson I could be wrong, but my understanding is that existence =/= triumph.

        @neiltyson Evil often gets small victories, but Good will always supersede. "Where sin (evil) abounds, grace (good) abounds all the more."

        @QuarkSpin @neiltyson Sorry Neil, that logic doesn't follow. Evil only has to have contended with good, not previously triumphed over it...

        @neiltyson isn't "triumph" more on a final statement? Can we say "evil has triumphed" if a struggle still goes on?

        @neiltyson one logic step further, good and evil are human constructs... At the end it's fiction, so no real logic could be applied
