The Evidence Room · The Hard Room

Suffering

The objection no argument dissolves. We give it full weight and do not pretend to wrap it up neatly at the end.

The questions this room answers

If God is good, why is there so much suffering?

The logical version of this question has real answers, and philosophers who are not believers grant them, William Rowe among them. None of them explains any particular child's cancer, which the Bible itself declines to explain.

THE CLAIM

The logical charge fails; the personal question is answered with a person.

  1. 1Say it as hard as it can be saidWitness
  2. 2Two different questions wearing the same clothesManuscript
  3. 3The logical version has an answer most philosophers now acceptManuscript
  4. 4Soul-making, and where it runs outManuscript

WHERE IT STANDS

The contradiction charge fails; the pain is not explained away.
