The Dilemma of Suffering and Divine Goodness

This chapter explores the complexities of suffering in the natural world and its implications for the existence of a benevolent deity. Through philosophical discussions, the tension between natural selection and theistic beliefs is examined, particularly regarding animal suffering and the moral responsibilities of a creator. The dialogue invites critical reflections on the nature of evil, the role of suffering, and the potential for existential fulfillment despite life's hardships.
