D3: Problem of Evil
D3: Problem of Evil
The Problem of Evil seems to be the biggest problem for theism. Hick explains that Augustine views evil as an inevitable outcome of a good thing (free will). What do you think? Is having free will — the genuine ability to do good or bad — worth having, even if it means that some evil could occur? Or, should God have given us no free will and guaranteed that we never do evil? Explain your view, and refer to the text with page numbers whenever possible.
