The Logical Problem of Evil

 It’s the most difficult question for any believer of God: How could a good God allow evil? In this video, I lay out the logical problem of evil (as distinct from the evidential and existential problems).

Types of Problems of Evil

-Logical

-Evidential

-Existential

The Logical Problem of Evil

1. If God exists, God could prevent evil

S1: omniscient and omnipotent

2. If God exists, God would prevent evil

S1: omnibenevolent

3. So, if God exists, evil doesn’t exist

4. Evil exists

5. So, God doesn’t exist
