God, the easiest, and Evil is an unique therapy of a few longstanding difficulties approximately God and his activities in the direction of people. First, Bruce Langtry explores a few implications of divine omnipotence, omniscience, and excellent goodness for God's windfall. specifically, he investigates even if God is in a few experience a maximizer. moment, he assesses the energy of objections to the life of God which are in response to the obvious indisputable fact that God may have created
a greater international than this one. eventually, he assesses the power of objections to the life of God that concentrate on the matter of evil.

To create a (possible) international is to strongly or weakly actualize it. an international is key if God can create it, and he can't create an international larger than it. This book's conclusions contain the next: (1) If there's at the least one leading global, then if God does create a few international he'll create a chief global. (2) If there are not any leading worlds, then it doesn't stick to that God doesn't exist. as a substitute, what follows is if God creates a global he'll create one who is nice sufficient, regardless of the fact
that he may perhaps create a global that's larger. (3) This end doesn't provide upward push to a great objection to theism, in line with the obvious undeniable fact that the particular international is improvable and but it's not more than enough (4) whether there's a most sensible international, or a number of equal-best worlds, God can't create any of
them. (5) an exceptional partial theodicy for evil may be supplied, beautiful to items sure up with human loose will, ethical accountability, and the jobs of people' personal own characteristics in shaping their very own and different people's lives. The partial theodicy is impartial among Theological Compatibilism and libertarianism. (6) the matter of evil doesn't supply a truly robust objection to the lifestyles of God.
