The Problem of Evil

One of the oldest dilemmas in philosophy is one of the biggest threats to Christian theology. The problem of evil is bothering the world's largest thought, but it is still clearly close to the hearts of the most common people. If God is good, why is there evil? The following article explains the problem of evil related to God, examines the reaction of Christianity to the problem, and concludes that the existence of God is perfectly compatible with the existence of evil. The body's "evil problem is usually divided into logic and evidence problems." The core of each problem is incompatible to believe that the existence and existence of God is evil.

The problem of evil has two branches. Evil logic problem (LPOE) seeks to prove that the existence of evil contradicts the existence of omnipotence and omnipotent existence. The evidence evidence question (EPOE) tries to prove that the existence of an amount or kind of evil contradicts the existence of somewhat effective and benevolent entity. Of course, not all Gods are considered omnipotent, omnipotent, or either. Many gods are morally defective, positive evil, simply indifferent, and not omnipotent. The evil logical matter does not apply to these gods, but evidence of evil evidence still holds true. This is consistent with the idea of ​​evil. That is, there are defective evil, irrelevant, or totipotent entities compatible with reality and the existence of omnipotent and omnipotent entities is not.

The problem of evil can be formulated in various ways. Indeed, the 'problem' pointing to evil may be more accurate. Recipes are interpreted as logical problems. Regarding the logic of evil, it is claimed that these two arguments, (1) that Almighty and Almighty God exists, and (2) the existence of evil is logically incompatible. Since evil exists on the surface, it is claimed that God (usually understood to be omnipotent and omnipotent) does not exist. In the latter part of the 20th century, logical arguments became dominant. But by the end of the century religious philosophers generally believed that the logic was rebutted. One of the reasons is that there must be hidden or unspecified assumptions as claims (1) and (2) are not clearly contradictory. But what is that?

Some philosophers believe Plantinga 's obvious victory over the evil logical problem is somewhat easier. The solution to his evil logic problem solved them and they were suspected of being fascinated by certain tricks. For example, JL Mackie is one of the best atheist philosophers in the mid-20th century and is an important representative of evil logic. To truly abandon our general view on the conflict between good and evil, we show that the problem of evil does not show that the central concept of the theory logically contradicts I admit it. But whether this can provide a real solution to the problem is another matter. (Mackie 1982, 154 pages)
