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 a forest fire to suggest an “evidential” formulation of this issue. A set of dialogues by David Hume popularized this issue as a trilemma attributed to Epicurus. Alvin Plantinga attempted to resolve this issue by pointing to the existence of “morally significant” free will. Theodicies, or arguments against this issue, are named after a Leibniz work that claims we live in “the best of all possible worlds” to defend the existence of a being that is both omnipotent and benevolent. For 10 points, name this issue that asks why God allows bad things to happen. ■END■
ANSWER: problem of evil [or argument from evil; accept Epicurean paradox until “Epicurus” is read; prompt on existence of God]
