Theodicies from Georgia and Bob

Back to the philosophical Problem of Evil:

If God is all good, and God is almighty, why is there evil in the world?

We learned that an attempt to answer this problem and exonerate God (in view of the fact that evil is present) is called a theodicy.

After class, Georgia suggested that the answer to the Problem of Evil might have something to do with God’s creating us in His own image, and giving us the power of choice. Bob speculated about the answer perhaps having something to do with God having turned over the dominion of the earth to us. Excellent preliminary thoughts!

Keep the theodicies coming!
