This chapter discusses the problem of evil framed in the context of the Book of Job. It explores the question of why bad things happen to good people, using the story of Job as an example. The chapter explains how Satan approaches God and challenges the righteousness of Job, leading to a series of unfortunate events in Job's life.
David and Tamler dive back into the Bible, this time to the perplexing and poetic Book of Job. What does this book have to say about the theodicy, the problem of evil? Why does Job (and his children) have to suffer so much just so God can prove a point to Satan? Are the speeches of Job's friends meant to be convincing? Does Job capitulate in the end? Does God contradict himself in the last chapter? What’s the deal with Elihu? So many questions, not as many answers – maybe that's why it's such a classic.
Plus, "transhumanism" – dystopian wet dream or perfect moral system of the future based on logic, reason, and code? (Always code).
