PHIL 1010 Fifth Exam Final Petrik Questions And
Answers Passed Quizzes
The problem of evil ANS the charge that the terrible things that happen in the world make it
irrational to believe that the world was created by a being of infinite wisdom, power, and love



Two kinds of evil ANS Moral Evil and Natural Evil



Moral evil ANS misfortunes that are deliberately brought about by free human action (ex.
murder, rape)



Natural Evil ANS misfortunes that happen as a result of natural forces (ex. tornado, earthquake)



Two versions of the problem of evil ANS Logical versions and Evidential/inductive Versions



Logical versions of the problem of evil ANS argue that it is contradictory to believe in god's
existence and the existence of any evil in the universe



Evidential/Inductive Versions ANS maintain that the evil in the universe renders god's non-
existence more probable than god's existence



Mackie's Logical Version of the Problem of Evil ANS contends that the following four beliefs
constitute a logically inconsistent set:
1) There exists an omni-natured creator of the universe
2)There is evil in the universe
3) A perfectly good being would prevent any evil it could prevent
4) All evils are contingent


Plantinga's Response ANS replace mackie's 3 with 3'
3' A perfectly good being would prevent any evils it could prevent provided it could do so without
forfeiting some equal or greater good

, moral evil is such an evil for an omnipotent being, for even God could prevent all moral evil only by
eliminating human freedom
a universe with free beings and moral evil may be better than a universe that lacked both free beings
and moral evil



The logical versio reframed in terms of natural evil ANS Plantinga notes that such evils might be
the work of free malevolent spirits (demons); thus the free defense may still apply
All we need is a logically consistent possibility to defeat the logical version of the problem of evil
because it is very difficult to prove that a set of proposition is logically contradictory, attempts to
formulate logical versions of the problem of evil have largely been abandoned



Inscrutable Evil ANS any evil which is such that human beings can identify no plausible
justification God might have for allowing it.


The greatest challenge that evil poses to theism ANS The problem of gratuitous evil



The main theistic strategy for explaining moral evil ANS Free Will Defense
god could only eliminate all moral evil by not creating free creatures
A universe with free creatures and moral evil is better than a universe that lacked both


Theistic strategies for handling natural evil ANS Redemptive accounts
Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
Soul making accounts
Irenaeus of lugdunum (100-200 AD)



Redemptive accounts ANS Because of sin, human beings are alienated from what should be our
greatest source of value in life; that is, having a proper relationship with God. Instead of enjoying this
relationship, we try to find fulfillment in such earthly goods such as fame, wealth, power and
pleasure. The reason God allows natural evil is to a) remind human beings that the goods of this
world are not their ultimate good and b) spur human beings to seek redemption and a proper
relationship with God.
