Question

A paper about this issue gave the term “G. E. Moore shift” to describe one potential response to a logical version of it. In that paper, William Rowe used an example that includes (10[1])a forest (10[1])fire to suggest an (10[1])“evidential” (10[1])formulation of this issue. (10[2])A set of dialogues by David Hume popularized this issue as a trilemma (-5[1])attributed to Epicurus. (-5[1])Alvin Plantinga (10[1])attempted (-5[2])to (10[1])resolve this issue (10[1]-5[1])by pointing (10[1])to (10[1])the existence (10[3])of “morally (10[2])significant” free will. (10[2]-5[1])Theodicies, (10[3]-5[1])or arguments against this (10[1])issue, (10[1]-5[3])are named (-5[1])after a Leibniz (10[1])work (-5[1])that claims (10[1])we live in “the best of all possible worlds” (-5[1])to defend (10[1])the existence of a being (10[1])that is both omnipotent and benevolent. (-5[1])For 10 points, name (10[1])this issue that asks why God allows bad things to happen. ■END■ (10[12]0[4])
