back as far as Epicurus. Aquinas proposes that the problem of evil is not a proper question to be asking because those asking it are not taking into account God’s nature. In this paper‚ I will contend that Aquinas incorrect in his assertion that it is not a legitimate question and I will argue that the problem of evil is a question that requires an answer. To do so I will juxtapose Aquinas against other thinkers on the problem of evil. The problem of evil examines how can God exist given horrible

synthesized attribute and an inherited attribute? Define each of those terms. A synthesized attribute is defined for a node v in terms of the attributes of the children of v.

Essay #1: Aquinas’ 3rd Way: Aquinas’ third way argument states that there has to be something that must exist‚ which is most likely God. He starts his argument by saying not everything must exist‚ because things are born and die every single day.
