thought experiment on the problem of evil

[Ryan]

does the problem of evil exists if hypothetically after all has happened(ie every specie on the planet is dead) God says to the universe "be thou as nothing has happened ie go back in time?

To answer is question,

does the problem of evil exists if hypothetically after all has happened(ie every specie on the planet is dead) God says to the universe "be thou as nothing has happened ie go back in time?

No.

But first you need to define what exactly is Evil.

What is the problem of evil?

 

[Kylo]

I’m not following your question…

But my thoughts are Christian, Muslim, Jewish Theists have no problem of “evil” what they do have is a problem of too much evil at best.

Their theologies all predict there to be suffering, hardship, good and evil… if worldview X predicts instances of Evil E then E is no defeater for X.

The best version of the Problem of Evil that I’ve come across is

1. If God exists, then God is all wise

2. If God is all-wise, then there is divine wisdom behind everything

3. If there is divine wisdom of everything, then there is wisdom behind every evil

4. If there is wisdom behind every evil, then there is no point less evil

5. But there are pointless evils

6. Therefore, God does not exist

Too see the tension between God exists and the existence of pointless evil more clearly Suppose God exists and He is infinitely wise and pointless evil exists then no evil is left is left pointless even pointless evils so there’s a point to Pointless Evils which is contradiction by definition there can be no point to pointless evils.

One problem with there is argument is Pointless Evil…. Not seeing a point is not the same as Seeing-No-Point… so atheists are burdened to show some Evil really is pointless that God couldn’t possibly have a sufficient reason but of course this has proven to be a difficult task.

They’re now onto more evidentiary evils particular instances of evil is an evidential chip against God…

Which of course I could concede but I don’t find them sufficient/to settle the debate
