Arcadian god Pan is probably one of the most well known gods in Greek history. Everyone has heard of Pan‚ and would more than likely recognize him if they saw him today.

2014 Topic 3: The Certainty that God Is After reading the two paragraphs written by scholars I have come to three different conclusions. The author of the first argument claims that God does in fact exist and he is also infinite. The author of the second argument claims that humans are not capable of comprehending the idea of infinite‚ therefore we cannot argue that God is infinite or that he exists at all.

God and the Problem of Evil by B.C. Johnson discusses what is called the problem of evil in philosophy. He specifically talks about the evidential problem of evil. The evidential problem of evil is the argument that if God is an all-powerful and all-knowing being than he cannot be all-good or omnibenevolent.
