  • More about Defeating the Evil-God Challenge: In Defence of God’s Goodness


The evil-god challenge is a popular topic in contemporary philosophy of religion, and Jack Symes offers the most detailed examination of it to date. He argues that it is more reasonable to attribute goodness to god than evil and defeats the challenge on behalf of traditional theism. However, religious believers must respond to the challenge to defend their faith.

The evil-god challenge is a significant topic in contemporary philosophy of religion, and Jack Symes offers the most detailed examination of the challenge to date. Symes argues that it is significantly more reasonable to attribute goodness to god than evil, drawing from a breadth of ground-breaking material in metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and epistemology. He claims to defeat the evil-god challenge on behalf of traditional theism. However, if belief in both gods is equally as reasonable, then religious believers are unjustified in favouring one hypothesis over the other. Therefore, theists must respond to the evil-god challenge to defend their faith.
