The Problem of Evil, Is It a problem? Logical and Evidential Formulations Addressed

The logical and evidential problem of evil
Key terms defined:
The logical problem of evil = This is an argument which claims evil and God are logically impossible.

The evidential or probibilistic problem of evil = This means pertaining to evidence or probability. This argument does not hold that God's existence is impossible, but argues the shere amount of evil makes God's existence improbable.

Moral Evil = These are evil acts which are a direct result of the choices of man. (murder, stealing, ect.)

Natural Evil = These are evil acts which are not clearly a direct result of man's choices. (hurricanes, earthquakes, ect)

@1GodOnlyOne Y'know, I thought we were getting on so well. Don't you have any answers for me? C'moon, It's been a week.

@1GodOnlyOne Sure but I don't want to derail Epy's thread so if this goes on to long we should move it to PM. I consider determinism to be the statement 'natural science always works'. With determinism the only way to have free will is if there is some extra universal soul, or at least some kind of substance dualism. All forms of substance dualism I have encountered are incoherent, ergo I do not believe in free will. No evidence, it isn't the kind of thing I think you can test empirically.

@snuju1 Mattew 5:22: 'whoever says 'You fool', shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell'. Let's hope 'Full throttle moron' doesn't count huh? Anyway, don't get sidetracked, those three questions hmm?

[snuju1]

@1GodOnlyOne Please indulge a full throttle moron and answer those three simple questions.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@snuju1 Actually, you asserted things about God without evidence, and I denied them because you failed to provide evidence.

If you think that God created you, that makes you a creationist, but God's revealed scriptures do not state that he created you, so you are a church of one.

You are a full-throttle moron.

[snuju1]

@snuju1 Ok, three questions for you. 1. Is God the creator of the universe? That is to say; he created time and space and all things therein? 2. He created man. 3 Did he know man would sin before he created him. Yes or no answers will do.

[snuju1]

@1GodOnlyOne Nope, never spell check ever. God didn't create me, my sin or my suffering. God has no responsibilities. Exactly what game are we playing here? you assert things willy nilly, and I'm supposed to find evidence to the contrary? I'm just asking questions, and I have to say ,you aint doing so well with the answers.

@snuju1

Excuse me?, is this a reasonable response? or just a mix of words to make a crappy post
