Philosophy Problem Of Evil Questions
The problem of evil in the context of theodicy refers to the philosophical dilemma of reconciling the existence of evil and suffering in the world with the belief in an all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent God. It questions how a loving and omnipotent God can allow the existence of evil and suffering, and why such a God would not prevent or eliminate it. The problem of evil challenges the traditional understanding of God's attributes and raises doubts about the coherence and plausibility of theodicies, which are attempts to justify or explain the existence of evil in relation to God's nature and purposes.
