Phenomena are good to the extent that they involve higher order quanta. Goodness is a relative concept. For example, sound is good, notes are better, music is better still, and musical expression is better than them all.
Note that something can therefore be very good and yet contain evil. Evil is not the opposite of good, and does not diminish it, although is may prevent the good from coming to expression.
Goodness and God are a result of essentially the same processes. That is why they coincide, although God is more specific than the good.

Phenomenon explained : |
In science, the proposition that God exists is not admissible as a premise. However, it is perfectly acceptable as a conclusion. Not only do the premises of QO lend credibility to this conclusion, they also provide new insights into the nature of God, the existence of evil, and the manner in which evil will be overcome.
