===Turning the tables=== A different approach to the problem of evil is to turn the tables by suggesting that any argument from evil is self-refuting, in that its conclusion would necessitate the falsity of one of its premises. One response{{snd}}called the defensive response{{snd}}has been to point out that the assertion "evil exists" implies an ethical standard against which moral value is determined, and then to argue that the fact that such a universal standard exists at all implies the existence of God.<ref>C. S. Lewis ''Mere Christianity'' Touchstone: New York, 1980 pp. 45β46</ref>
