Last
week we heard Dr. William Lane Craig introduce the problem of suffering and
evil to his Defenders Class. This week
he tackles the intellectual problem in its logical form. He presents it in the following syllogism:
1.
God
is all-powerful and all-loving/good.
2.
Suffering
exists.
3.
If
God is all-powerful, then He can create any world he wants (including one with
no suffering or evil).
4.
If
God is all-loving/good, then He would prefer a world without suffering.
In
a presentation filled with lively questions and discussion, follow along as Dr.
Craig explains how hidden assumptions in statements 3 and 4 demonstrate that
they are not necessarily true. You can
listen to the audio here or read the transcript here.
That
you may know,
Roger
