 * Problem of Evil

The problem of evil is perhaps best known presented by J.L. Mackie.

1) God is omnipotent (can do anything, and we often add omniscience - he can do anything) 2) God is wholly good (also called omnibenevolent) 3) A wholly good omnipotent God would elimiate all evil 4) Evil exists 5) Therefore God does not exist

There are a number of responses and clarifications to the problem.
