Good is opposed to evil, in such a way that a good thing always eliminates evil as far as it can, and there are no limits to what an omnipotent thing can do. From these, it follows that a good omnipotent thing eliminates evil completely. – Mackie (“Evil and Omnipotence” p. 201) What is the conclusion of the argument in PASSAGE 4? Good is opposed to evil. A good thing always eliminates evil as far as it can. There are no limits to what an omnipotent thing can do. A good omnipotent thing eliminates evil completely. None of the above.

If Superman exists, he is neither impotent nor malevolent. Therefore, Superman does not exist.
