hbm should make a "I'm not dead." thread too so people can post some more smilies.
Where is your God now???
1)If God Does exist, he is All Knowing, All Powerful and All Good (morally perfect).
2)If God is all Powerful he has the ability to destroy all evil
3)If God is all knowing, he knows evil exists.
4)If good is all good and morally perfect, then God would have the desire to destroy all evil.
5)Evil exists
6)If evil exists this means that either God does not know about evil (no longer All Knowing), God knows about evil but cannot stop it (no longer All Powerful) or God knows about evil and does not want to stop it
(no longer all good and morally perfect).
7)Therefore God does not exist.
Philosophy paper attack!!!!

The most common rebuttal to the logic presented in the above section is the Free Will Defense. This defense was formed by Alvin Plantinga who said,
God's creation of persons with morally significant free will is something of tremendous value. God could not eliminate much of the evil and suffering in this world without thereby eliminating the greater good of having created persons with free will with whom he could have relationships and who are able to love one another and do good deeds.
This view point states that the existence of evil is necessary for our choices to be morally significant. Morally significant free will is a concept very important to the Free Will Defense. The idea is that, without the choice to do wrong a person cannot be praised for doing right. If the only available option is to do right, doing right, in turn, has no value. Keeping with this idea, if doing right is the only option, then we do not truly possess free will, not morally significant free will anyway. For God to create a world in which his creations possess morally significant free will, evil is necessary.
