try to answer the question of the existence of evil in the world with their differing yet equally intellectual theodicy’s. Leibniz attacks the problem of evil with the concept of our world being the best possible world that God could create.

Free will is fundamental to human existence (Arnason‚ 2011). Neuroscience implies that free will is not a defining feature of humanness‚ but is in fact an illusion concealed by biochemical complexity (Burns & Bechara‚ 2007).
