November 5- The Problem of Evil
Rohs Street Cafe
Is the existence of an all-powerful and all-good God compatible with the existence of evil in the world? Does the overall amount and distribution of evil constitute evidence against God's existence? How successful are theodicies, explanations for why God would allow certain evils? Join the UCSkeptics for a discussion about the problem of evil in its various forms, led by Prof. John Martin.
