It's also helpful to distinguish between two types of the philosophical or apologetic
aspect of the problem of evil. The first is the logical challenge to belief in God. This
challenge says it is irrational and hence impossible to believe in the existence of a
good and powerful God on the basis of the existence of evil in the world. The logical
challenge is usually posed in the form of a statement such as this:

1.Y J good God would destroy evil.


2.Y Jn all powerful God could destroy evil.
3.Y Evil is not destroyed.
4.Y Therefore, there cannot possibly be such a good and powerful God.

It is logically impossible to believe that both evil, and a good and powerful God exist
in the same reality, for such a God certainly could and would destroy evil.

On the other hand, the evidential challenge contends that while it may be rationally
possible to believe such a God exists, it is highly improbable or unlikely that He does.
We have evidence of so much evil that is seemingly pointless and of such horrendous
intensity. For what valid reason would a good and powerful God allow the amount
and kinds of evil which we see around us?

Hi! I agree that God is omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect.

First, God is omnipotent because He can do all things He wants. Nothing is hard for
him and all are possible to Him. Second, God is omniscient because He eternally
knows all things which can be known so we cannot hide from Him. He knows how to
reach His desired end to His people. Third, He is also a morally perfect one. This
means that a human being, which lacked the attribute of moral perfection, could not
possibly be God. Hence, there is only God. If He is all like that, then I can say that He
knows that evil exists and He has the power/desire to eliminate evil.

With regards to the existence of evil, it can be morally evil or naturally evil. The first
one is a kind of evil obtained from human¶s actions (murder, rape, theft, etc.) and the
latter is the one that occurs naturally (floods, landslides, earthquakes, etc.). I also
agree in it because it is like a test of trial but how can we love God if he allows us to
suffer in these ways?

It is logically impossible to believe that both evil and a good and powerful God exist
in the same reality, for such a God certainly could and would destroy evil.

House¶s experiences looked real because he can still perceive things during his hallucination. It feels, smells,
and tastes the same as what he did in the real world. He was being challenged by his mind (if things are real or
not) and he did not know any method to use. Jll the things that are happening to House are seemingly real
because it is being constructed by his brain and if this so, then a person might really be confused.

Reality is the state of things that can be perceived and viewed externally. For me, we do not have a way if we
can determine the things that are real or not. It is hard to perceive thing whether they are real or not.
