Problem Of Evil Existence Of Evil
1,447 wordsIn a strong argument for atheism, J. L. Mackie presents the argument from evil. His logical argument for evil is comprised of showing theists beliefs to be inconsistent. He states that God being omnipotent and omni-benevolent is contradictory with the existence of evil. Though his argument seems to be a good one, Mackie does provide four responses, or theodicies that are possible solutions to the problem of evil. Three of these are that evil is necessary as a counterpart to good, evil is a neces...

Big Bang Theory Existence Of God
2,257 words... us as odd would evoke the thought, 'How did that get here?' You might not have a clue how it came to be, but there would probably never be a moment when you thought there should be no explanation at all. Few times do we consider the possibility that perhaps it came about all by chance, or came from nothing. As Taylor points out, the nonexistence of anything never requires a reason; but existence of something, that always requires a reason. This basic idea that to every truth there is a cause...

Problem Of Evil Heredity And Environment
1,652 wordsReligion Philosophy: The Problem of Evil Some people view the problem of evil as the most serious challenge to the Christian tradition. "How can God exist when there is evil in the world?" This question arises due to the nature of God. God is understood to be benevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent. If God is all-knowing, all powerful and all good he would know that some evil would occur, he would have the power to prevent it and the desire to do so as well. Consequently, there should be no evil....

God Is Omnipotent Greek Gods
1,012 wordsGreek gods vs. Judeo-Christian God Whenever we refer to the literature from which the Greek gods come from, we refer to it as mythology, i. e. Sophocles, Oedipus Rex. And yet, when we refer to the literature of the Judeo-Christian God, the Bible, this is not referred to as mythology. Both pieces of literature were written around the same time period, and yet, in modern day, we read one book to help teach us daily lessons, and we read the other for purposes of pleasure. I began to wonder why the ...

Foundational Ism Meditation Descartes
4,880 wordsIn his first meditation, Descartes sets out with amazing clarity and persistence to clear himself of every false idea that he has acquired previous to this, and determine what he truly knows. To rid him of these " rotten apples" he has developed a method of doubt with a goal to construct a set of beliefs on foundations which are indubitable. On these foundations, Descartes applies three levels of skepticism, which in turn, generate three levels at which our thoughts may be deceived by ...

God Is All Powerful Problem Of Evil
950 wordsPROBLEM OF EVIL One of the major arguments proposed against the existence of God in contemporary western philosophy is the problem of evil. It is based upon the inability to reconcile the magnitude of evil in the world with the all-loving nature of God. John Hick describes the problem from the perspective of its proponent, If God is perfectly loving, God must wish to abolish all evil; and if God is all-powerful, God must be able to abolish all evil. But evil exists; therefore God cannot be both ...
