What I am concerned about, is as a Christian, I know that G*D creates evil. So, that being undoubtedly true unless you are willing to say that my bible is lying.
Given that, how can you possibly characterize evil as something that is absent good? If G*D is good, and the bible tells us so, and he is omnipresent, which the bible tells us so, then it follows that there is nowhere that G*D is not (that includes the empty black hollow in the chests of materialists, thank you CSL).
So it seems that Jason Rennie's arguments, while sophisticated, are founded on category errors. If it was G*D's will that the Assyrians were to attack the Israelites, in no way could that be viewed as evil. The fact that one, were it to happen today, would view it as evil, gives the lie to the notion that we can ever know, even if it exists, an objective morality.
If you believe in a G*D who has a will that can be thwarted by puny humans, and the absence of G*D is the presence of evil, then you worship an inferior G*D that is not the creator of the Universe and the mid-atlantic rift, much less the flacterial blagellum or the chloroplast.
I don't see where this discussion is going, but I am glad to see it getting back to the science. |
