E20 Evil: The Greatest Problem Known to Man

The Greatest Problem Known to Man

In today's episode we briefly explore the "Problem of Evil," using atheist J.L. Mackie's formulation, which can be paraphrased as: "It is not possible that all three of the following are true at once: 1) That God is omnipotent; 2) that God is wholly good; 3) that evil exists."

Is Mackie right? Is God not all good? Does God cause evil or only permit it? Why? Send your feedback to zac@creedalcatholic.com or kevin@creedalcatholic.com. Thanks for listening!

P.S. Tune in next week for a discussion about Familiaris Consortio.

We'd love to hear what you think of this episode!
