![]() ![]() ![]() The set of facts or, more properly, propositions are:ġ) God is all-powerful, 2) God is perfectly good and 3) Evil exists. To see whether any of these contradictions apply lets set out the set of facts accepted by the theist which are held by the skeptic to create inconsistencies when all held at the same time to be true.

Let’s see how a contradiction among a given set of fact can be intended to see if such contradictions really apply to the set of facts that both a theistic God exists and evil exists.Īs Plantinga points out in Part 1 of his book previously mentioned, a contradiction can be either explicit, formal or implicit. The logical problem of evil implies that there is an inherent contradiction in postulating both the existence of a theistic god and the existence of evil. For the reader who is interested in a brief introduction to the issue, I advise reading my article.
