Because materialism is the belief that the physical properties of the universe are all that exist. There is no invisible, transcendent dimension of reality – only what can be observed physically. But if you hold this view, and you want to arrive at some rational explanation for the kinds of evil I discuss in the video, you have to account for those events by appealing to exclusively material causes. But as soon as you do make an explanation like that, if one is available, notice what you’ve forfeited. What you cannot say after having observed such phenomena is, “That was evil or that was wrong.” Because as soon as you admit that, what you’re saying is, “Something that happened, and is therefore real and part of reality, should not have happened.” In effect, you’re saying, “I disapprove of those events which are part of the fabric of reality and, therefore, I disapprove of reality.” To say that is to insist that reality and the events that constitute it should have been another way. Something else should have happened; specifically, that guy shouldn’t have brutally murdered an innocent life. And he shouldn’t have gloated about it afterwards as if he did something enviable with complete indifference to goodwill or the lives that he has now traumatized. But if all there is is material reality, how can you lay claim to knowledge of an alternate reality, which doesn’t exist, and which you believe should exist – some invisible better world that you would have approved of?

Can a good God allow evil? This episode has guest teacher Dr Wallace Marshall and addresses how Christians can engage on this important and often cited argument against the existence of God.

Many around the world labeled the events of September 11 as \"evil.\" President Bush in his recent State of the Union speech described \"an axis of evil.\" But what does the word mean? It is a subject of enduring theological debate, even of scientific argument. It drives to the heart of the question: What does it mean to be human?

Atheists often respond to the cosmic fine-tuning argument by appealing to the multiverse. If our universe is one of a vast (possibly infinite) array of universes, perhaps a life-permitting universe isn't so improbable after all. But if atheists can appeal to the multiverse to answer cosmic fine-tuning, can't theists appeal to the multiverse to answer the problem of evil?

Randy Jamison on The Problem of Evil - Part 6

Epicurus asked: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.  Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.  Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?  Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” This Socratic dialogue explores a popular version of the argument from evil.

Muslim And Exmuslim Discuss The Problem Of Evil

According to the logical problem of evil, the existence of an all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing God (hereafter the traditional conception of God) is logically incompatible with the existence of evil. By the middle of the 20th century, however—thanks by and large to the work of figures like Alvin Plantinga—it became widely agreed that there is no logical incompatibility between such a God and the existence of evil. In response, proponents of the problem of evil changed tack—instead of arguing that the existence of evil is logically incompatible with the traditional conception of God, they argue for the much weaker thesis that the existence of evil (or of certain types, degrees, or amounts of evil) makes the existence of such a God unlikely, or that the existence of evil poses at least an evidential challenge to theism. Call this the evidential problem of evil. That said, however, given that several of the factors needed to establish the conclusion of the evidential problem of evil—for instance, the full set of reasons an omniscient God might know for allowing evil—are beyond human knowledge (as skeptical theists have been quick to point out), the evidential problem of evil might seem to rest on intuitions regarding the kind/amount of evil in the world, the likelihood that God exists given the existence of evil, etc. In recent years, experimental philosophy has powerfully called into question the theoretical import of any philosophical intuitions that are not shared across various demographics—cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, etc. Philosophers, so the story goes, once assumed that intuitions were more or less universal and aptly theory-guiding. But through empirical research, experimental philosophers have argued that perhaps many of our philosophical intuitions are not nearly as universal as many philosophers might have hoped—potentially undermining the theoretical import of such intuitions. In his article, “The Problem of Evil and Some Varieties of Atheism” (1979), William Rowe puts forward the following argument: 1. There exists instances of intense suffering which an omnipotent, omniscient being could have prevented without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse. 2. An omniscient, wholly good being would prevent the occurrence of any intense suffering it could, unless it could not do so without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse. 3. [Therefore,] there does not exist an omnipotent, omniscient, wholly good being. (1979, 336) Of course, given that such an argument is valid, if the premises are true then the conclusion must be true. Rowe takes premise 2 to be fairly uncontroversial. In support of premise 1, however, Rowe presents a vignette where a fawn is caught in a forest fire, suffers horribly, and eventually dies. Insofar as we have the intuition that the fawn’s suffering in this vignette is pointless (i.e. not serving to prevent a greater or equal evil or promote a greater good)—and insofar as we think our inability to see such a “point” counts as evidence for thinking that there is no point—then that counts as evidence against theism (given the argument above). In keeping with the research methods of experimental philosophy, research that was conducted as a part of the “Problem of Evil and Experimental Philosophy of Religion” project explored how widespread Rowe’s intuitions are and what psychological mechanisms might underwrite them. In particular, we explored the following hypotheses: 1. The Shared Hypothesis: Rowe’s guiding intuition--that the death of the fawn seems pointless--will not be shared across a wide range of demographics. This can be tested simply by collecting demographic information on everyone in the control group. 2. The Influence Hypothesis: Manipulating the context-level of Rowe’s original vignette will have a significant effect on the participant's level of agreement with Rowe’s conclusion that the suffering is senseless and no greater evil is prevented and no greater good is accomplished. Specifically, it is hypothesized that if participants are given more information regarding when and why forest fires occur (high context) they will show less agreement with Rowe in comparison to the control group. 3. The Conflicting Intuitions Hypothesis: A significant proportion (>20%) of people who share Rowe’s guiding intuition will have conflicting intuitions regarding the problem of evil. In other words, many people who report that their inability to see a point to the target suffering counts as strong evidence in favor of thinking that there is no point to that suffering will also report that if there was a point to the target suffering they would be very unlikely to be aware of it. And to summarize our findings, we found (i) that the target intuition at work in Rowe’s argument is not shared across various demographics (including education level, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and religion); (ii) the inclusion of context greatly diminished participants’ reported perception of pointlessness; and (iii) a significant portion of the population did indeed have conflicting intuitions regarding the problem of evil. For more information on our original findings, see here: https://philpapers.org/rec/MCAECT These initial results were extremely exploratory; however, they raised many questions that we wanted to explore further in subsequent research. In particular, in our follow-up research we’d like to further explore: - alternative indexes for measuring agreement with Rowe; - whether our initial results will replicate; - why context seems to have the impact on the perception of pointlessness that our initial results suggest; - whether specific personality measures can account for some of the intuition variation found in our original research.
