Document Summary
The first formulation of the argument from evil. P2: if an all pkg god exists, there would be no evil. If you disagree with conclusion, one or more premises must be false. 1st premise is false b/c god is not all pkg. 2nd premise is wrong b/c even even if an all pkg god exists, there is still evil in the world. There would be no more evil than the amount needed to teach us a lesson. P1: if god exists, god is all powerful, knowing & good (pkg) P2: if an all pkg god exists, there is no more evil whatever is necessary for character building, teaching us a lesson, & as a result of human freedom. P3: there is more evil than the minimum. Epistemology - (knows, evidence, rational) - epistemology is the study of these concepts. Philosophical skepticism - doubt/deny that we have much, if any, knowledge.
