Introduction: This essay presents the discussion of the problem of evil in relation to the existence of God. Specifically outline two sections in which the problem of evil is discussed from the point from an atheist and theistic point of view. Claim: The Problem of Evil presents an argument that questions the existence of God in relation to evil, attributing both atheistic and theistic responses. First Answer to the Problem of Evil: (atheist).If God were all good, omnipotent, and omniscient, He would not allow evil to exist.3.1 First Answer to First Answer:There is a lot of evil in the world, and much of it happens inexplicably. In the history of life on Earth, bad things have happened and evil has caused problems. In connection with some global events, 6 million people died in the Holocaust, 65 million people died in war, 800,000 died in the Rwandan genocide, and 230,000 people died in the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. There is a lot of human suffering in the world, but there is also animal suffering. Much suffering in humans is due to other humans, however some of it may be caused by non-human causes, such as natural disasters, etc. According to religious beliefs, God was the creator of life on Earth, so if he were all good, powerful and knowing that he would have been able to at least prevent the outbreak of natural disasters that cause life to suffer. Likewise, capable of preventing human suffering resulting from natural disasters, i.e. saving people from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes etc…3.2 Second answer to the first answer: In all religions there are common attributes associated with god. God is known to be all-good (omnibenevolent), all-powerful (omnipotent) and all-knowing (omniscient), which together form t... half of the paper... allowed it.Conclusion:In In relation to the answers on the problem of evil is very implausible that an omnibenevolent god could exist since evil is present. However, regarding the problem of evil, there is not enough information or reasoning to suggest the existence or non-existence of God. Christians might simply argue that God is not always omnibenevolent and that everything happens for a reason, including the bad, perhaps part of a plan in which current generations suffer for the greater good of future generations. Conversely, atheist people might suggest that if this were true then it would be unjust and God should not be unjust. Reference list: Ian Ravenscroft Lecture notes.
