Haiti and the Problem of Evil
(Text as at 18/12/2010 19:58:05)
I sent out the email below in response to an article1 in the BBC News Magazine website (Link). The immediate responses are here2, here3 and here4. Follow the links for these responses, my responses and any ensuing correspondence.
The discussion eventually fizzled out , but fizzed back to life briefly in another item5 further up the blog.
Of course, there’s been a lot written on this subject of greater rigour than the popular piece by David Bain. For instance:-
- "Rowe (William L.), Howard-Snyder (Daniel) & Bergmann (Michael) - Debate: Is Evil Evidence against Belief in God?", and
- "Howard-Snyder (Daniel), Ed. - The Evidential Argument from Evil".

Any comment on the email / attachment below6? I couldn't find any reference - at the time of writing - to "an enemy7 has done this". Maybe the modern church thinks the problem of cosmic dualism / Manichaeism is worse than the problem of evil?
In-Page Footnotes:
Footnote 7: Ie. Satan – this is a quote from .Matthew 13:28, the passage about the wheat and the tares.
