Evil creates existential, practical, and philosphical problems for everyone, regardless of who they are and what they believe.
In this episode, Brian Watson considers Alvin Plantinga's Free Will Defense. Does libertarian free will explain why there is evil in the world? Couldn't God have given us this kind of free will, but also perfect moral character so that we wouldn't do evil?
Brian Watson discusses how to go about "solving" the problem of evil. He talks about a theological and philosophical methodology for creating theodicies.
Should we try to make sense of God's relationship to evil? Is it wrong to create theodicies? Criticisms of theodicies are considered in this episode.
