Introduction to the Problem of Evil
The discussion begins with the significance of the problem of evil in philosophy and theology, particularly through the lens of skeptical theism. Skeptical theism suggests that humans have limitations in understanding divine reasoning regarding the existence of evil. This perspective is relevant to various arguments from evil that question the compatibility of God's existence with instances of evil. The conversation aims to clarify these concepts, especially focusing on common sense problems related to evil.
