The Problem of Evil

~The problem of sliminess~

In a reality in which billions of innocent people suffer, it makes little sense claiming that there is a good and all-powerful beau ideal
I do not believe this sentence is true or makes sense to me as there has been many philosophers who study advance up with arguments called Theodicys which argon arguments that oppose the sentence above as they are arguments that endeavor to prove the existence of an Omnibenevolent (all loving), Omnipotent (all powerful) and Omniscient (All Knowing) god in an evil humanness. The word Theodicy comes from the Greek words (????) Theos gist theology and (????) Dike meaning justice and the meaning is an flak to show how it is reasonable to believe both in a loving God and in the painful facts of life. In the pursuance essay I will be explaining how I have used some of these famous theodicys to come up with an argument that opposes the theory above that god cannot exist in an evil world.
(Throughout this essay all my theories will be ground on the fact that god created evil. I have come to the conclusion that this is true because if god is omnipotent and omniscient and then he has to have created evil. There is no way that god wouldnt know that evil would occur when he created the world and there would be no way he wouldnt be able to stop it occurring.



The only logical solution is that god created evil)

One theodicy and reason why I dissent with the latter statement is the Irenaean theodicy. This is the basic summary

P1.A world of moral individuals is a good thing.
P2. Individuals have to learn how to be moral.
P3. Suffering and evil are necessary in order to learn how to be moral.
P4. God desires to create a world of moral individuals.
C. God must therefore allow suffering and evil in order to bring about the good of a world of moral individuals.

This theodicy comes in two parts. The first comes from St Irenaeus (130-202 AD), a go of the early Christian Church, who thought that humans was not created...If you fate to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
