r from doing good they seem not to be in existence because good is rewarded and recognized while evil is not. It seems that all the good covers up the evil making evil not exist. All of this can be restated in terms of Providence and Fate. Boethius says that Providence is the immovable and simple form of all thing which come into being, while Fate is the moving connection and temporal order of all things which the divine simplicity has decided to bring into being (Boethius book IV prose 6 p.92). Boethius displays his argument through a model of spheres in orbit. He says that the closer spheres to the center tend not to move around and have simple orbits and is Providence. On the other hand the spheres that are farther away from the center tend to have complex orbits and whirl around, which is Fate. However if all the orbits are connected to the center they are confined by the simplicity of the center and no longer tend to stray away. Therefore Fate is confined within the simplicity of Providence, just as circle is confined within its center. Looking back at all these orbits from a long distance you would not be able to distinguish between the simple orbits and the complex orbits because they would all be connected to the center. Therefore one could not point out Fate within Providence and not find the evil within the good. And evil would not exist.One could argue against Boethiuss argument that evil doesnt exist. For evil not to exist then nothing could be evil or anything bad can ever happen in the world. We all know that bad things happen to good people. Boethius could not say that when a drunk driver kills somebody that it is good and there was not any evil involved. The evil or bad by far takes over any good that one could get out of any such ordeal. I am sure that someone could find some good out of somebody getting killed in a car accident by telling other people the story and convince them not to drink and drive....
