four centuries of debate regarding Christian doctrine. He was determined to solve the puzzle that was “the Problem of Evil” that many Christians failed to do so themselves. The Christian God was supposed to be both perfectly good and almighty. However, many raised the questions, if God is good, then where does the devil come from? Stated in the textbook, The Great Conversation, the Problem of Evil is explained as the following: “If God is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and perfectly
Problem of Evil The argument for the existence of God has been a debate for many centuries. God, in terms of philosophy, must be a supernatural being that: is all-knowing, is all-powerful, and is all-good. Theists believe God exists based on these terms; atheists on the other hand don’t believe in God. Atheists believe that if there is evil present in the universe, then there is no possible way God can exist if he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. Evil is defined in three different
As per the lecture, there are six steps in problem solving: 1) Identify the problem 2) investigate 3) find alternatives 4) choose an option 5) implement 6) evaluate. When defining the problem, it is important that we know the difference between the symptoms and the problem.

Section 1: The nature of the basic principles In order to tackle the problem of evil and how it goes to demolishing the belief in God and therefore God himself, I need to pick apart the main issues that clash within this dispute. These main issues or ideas are God and Evil. I first have to look at the actual ideas that are held for both of these to understand both concepts, which will then allow me to show how the problems are formed from these two basic origins. The theistic belief in God
challenged in great detail when the Problem of Evil is discussed. A theist is someone who believes in God and in theism there is a coherent concept of God.

A disappointment is the same as a wildly successful outcome, both are learning experiences.
