The Problem Of Evil And The Design Argument

makes of the design argument that are described in this chapter, Hume presents a third. He says that even if the design argument succeeds in showing that a designer made the universe (or the organisms in it), the argument does not succeed in establishing what characteristics that designer has. For this reason, the argument does not show that God exists. Is Hume’s claim correct? How seriously does this undermine the design argument? I think that Hume’s claim that the design argument does not succeed

series of arguments to justify his points. He summarizes all of his “proofs” which conclude from his research that there is not enough evidence to support the existence of God. Within the article, McCloskey presents to the reader three different series of arguments in regards to why he is against Christianity. The arguments he sets before the reader are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument and the argument of design. He also touches on the points about the problem of evil and how it

Atheist, is trying to show the readers are more reasonable and comfortable belief than that of Christianity. In the article he also puts up an argument concerning two theistic point of which is the cosmological and teleological argument. McCloskey also talks about the problems resulting from all the evil in the world. He goes as far to point out this evil in a world the God had made and blames God for it. Due to that fact and other issues, he believes that it is irrational to live by faith. According

Rowe brings up the problem of “pointless evil “which I find is one of the best arguments against god’s existence because to me there is really no way around it, taking into consideration the characteristics of a classical theistic god. I believe rowes argument is the most easily understood argument and most influential of its kind He defines pointless evil as evil which god (if he exists) could prevent without thereby preventing a greater good or allowing an equal or greater evil. He doesn’t bring

Atheist, H.J. McCloskey tried to show that atheism is a more reasonable and comfortable belief than that of Christianity.   McCloskey argued against the three theistic proofs, which are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument and the argument from design.   He pointed out the existence of evil in the world that God made.   He also pointed out that it is irrational to live by faith. According to McCloskey, proofs do not necessarily play a vital role in the belief of God.  Page 62 of the article

to talk about which which are the problem of evil, the fine tuning argument and the moral argument. According to theism, God is: “that being which no greater is possible, and he is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent.”. By having a God who only desires good, and us living in a world where evil exists, it is logically impossible and that is what created the problem of evil. There are two sides of the problem of evil which are the logical and evidential argument. The logical side states that:

in a world where evil exists, it is logically impossible and that is what created the problem of evil. Problem of Evil: There are two sides of the problem of evil which are the logical and evidential arguments. The logical side states that as long as evil and suffering exists in this world there is no God. That does not only contradict with the idea of God being “all-good”, but also him being “all-knowing” and “all-powerful” as well. Because, if God only desires good, then how evil was formed unless

that if evil exists then so does God, and vice versa. It is also a common belief that this perfect being is the creator of everything and everyone. From atom to atom and from molecule to molecule, he designed all of it. It is also believed that this God has no flaws and is indeed a perfect being. However, some people will tend to disagree. Ernest Nagel, an American philosopher, proposed a series of counterarguments to many classic arguments on behalf of God’s existence. He dismisses arguments such as

this article, McCloskey raises the traditional explanations for God’s existence and argues the problem of evil is the reason why one should be an atheist. McCloskey essentially contends there is no legitimate logic or substance to the theist’s position. He argues that the presence of suffering is contradictory with an omnipotent, omniscient and loving God. Evolution
