Believe it or not, humans have been debating questions concerning God for as long as couples have been discussing what they fancy for dinner. Does God exist? Is God all-power, all-knowing and all-loving? Shall we try that new Mexican restaurant on Bold Street?
In this episode, we're going to be discussing the existence of God in relation to the problem of evil, more specifically, on what has come to be known as 'the evil-god challenge'. Roughly stated, our question is as follows: why is belief in a good-god significantly more reasonable than belief in an evil-god?
