Abstract
This article aims to critically analyze the logical version of the problem of evil. According to the logical problem of evil, the existence of the theistic god is logically incompatible with the existence of evil. One of the most important proponents of the logical problem of evil today is J. L. Mackie, and it is in his formulation that we have concentrated. We present two answers exposed and examined by Mackie himself. Next, we turn to Alvin Plantinga's Defense of Free Will to overcome Mackie's previous criticisms of a version of this defense that calls for free will in order to logically reconcile God's existence with evil. We conclude that Plantinga's defense fails to block the conclusion of Mackie's argument. We then present an economic answer that successfully neutralizes the logical problem. Finally, we conclude that evil does not pose a logical problem to the existence of God.
