Introduction to Philosophy/Philosophy of Religion/Ethics: Does God Exist? Ah, the Problem of Evil
Hi students of reality!
Let's go Evil. Or is that a problem?
The problem of evil has several forms. What is called the "Logical Problem of Evil" is this,
p1) God is all knowing, all powerful, morally perfect.
p2) Evil exists (natural (like tsunamis) and human caused; murder).
p3) Any all knowing, all powerful, morally perfect being would end all evil, right now.
C) God does not exist.
We'll look at other versions, but they all have their roots in this basic structure. So imagine a horrific crime, freely committed by a fiend, against a little girl. And God does nothing to protect her in that moment. The idea is God values freewill more than God values little girls.
But let's talk about frozen ducks. Seriously. Our discussion will continue...
Cheers~
