Ancient Solutions to the Problem of Evil
Great article. The eternal felicity is my favorite as well. If Heaven is eternal, the significance of any finite amount of suffering is zero. 100 or 10,000 or 1 million units of suffering divided by infinity is still equal to zero.
So true -- I like the mathematical illustration!
I look forward to your post on Plantinga. I just posted about him (from my dissertation chapter) and found what I wrote woefully inadequate.
Plantinga has made the greatest impact on my studies of the problem of evil -- very much looking forward to reading your post.
He’s definitely helpful. I need to read him more and more deeply. I wish I had more formal logic training but oh well…
