Then there is the Zoroastrian argument.  Out of the total power of the
universe, if it
was all good, there would be no evil, there is evil so either the good power
of the universe is either not singlely the total power or the single total
power is not all good.  But if it was all evil, there would be no good, there
is good so either the evil power of the universe is either not singlely the
total power or the single total power is not all
evil.  Since, per contra, a single item cannot have contrary properties at
the same time in the same respect (i.e. a colored object cannot
simultaneously be red all over and green all over at the same time), the good
power and the evil power cannot be
a single power.  QED The total power of the universe is the sum of a good
power and a evil power.  Corollary: dualism is true.
