    The Inborn Evil of Mankind In the novel Lord of the Flies‚ Golding’s pessimistic view that evil is an inborn trait of mankind is valid. Firstly‚ what seems like a little vacation for the boys is quickly erased by the brutal savage-like behavior that many of the boys on the island possess. Secondly‚ the death of Simon or goodness on the island shows that evil has completely taken over the boys’ minds. Lastly‚ the fact that the beast lies within mankind symbolizes the evil that is present

Robert believes that

    Problem of Evil Lyndsey Emry PHIL 1381-17 Introduction to Philosophy Professor Bannister   The problem of evil is the problem of reconciling the existence of the evil in the world with the existence of an omniscient God because if God were all-knowing‚ it seems that God would know about all of the horrible things that happen in our world.

    causes evil? Is it because of human actions or something bigger like God? Many philosophers argue to solve the problem of why we have evil if God is wholly good. There are many explanations for this‚ but first we need to understand what the problem of evil‚ the free will response‚ and divine foreknowledge is. After viewing the material‚ I concluded that free will is a possible response to the problem of evil because people choose their actions. Others say that free will is not the cause for evil because

    Despite Mackie seeming to have proven the logical problem of evil to be sound it is not surprising that theists have sought to resolve the problem rather than abandoning their beliefs. Responses to the problem of evil fall into the categories of defences or theodicies. Generally speaking a defence is used in response to the logical problem‚ simply showing how there is no logical inconsistency. This does not require an explanation of evil‚ nor need it be true‚ as a false though coherent explanation

    Why God Allows Evil Swinburne defends the view that the existence of evil in the world is consistent with the existence of an omnipotent‚ perfectly good God. Not only are they consistent‚ he argues‚ but the amount of good in the world requires the possibility of substantial evil. He begins his argument by distinguishing moral evil (which comes from humans acting in morally bad ways) from natural evil (pain and suffering that comes from anything other than human action with predictable outcome)‚

    The Problem of Evil The problem of evil has a long history in the argument against the existence of God. The question posed is often this: If God is all-powerful and all-loving‚ then how and why can He allow evil to exist in the world? This is one of the hardest arguments to combat against from a Christian standpoint‚ because‚ in reality‚ often times‚ we find ourselves wondering the same thing. There are quite a few responses to the problem of evil from a Christian standpoint‚ most of them are

The term ‘all-PKG’ is used as an abbreviation to denote the ‘all-Powerful‚ all-Knowing‚ and all-Good’ aspects of God. In the face of the varieties of sufferings that people encounter through their lifespan‚ it is hardly possible to
