- Free Will Defence
- Evil is a result of free will
- God could not eliminate evil without eliminating free will
- God allows smaller evils which are linked to greater goods
- He needs the evil to achieve the good
- libertarian free will is a morally significant free will
- actions can be evaluated from a moral perspective (e.g. praise/blame)
- in a world where people always do good, no praise can be given to them
- there are worlds God cannot create
- He cannot do the logically impossible
- impossible for humans to be free and determined
- improbable for there to be a world with no evil even though people have free will
- free will makes love and goodness
- helps achieves the happiness of unity with God i.e. love relationship
- natural evil
- logically possible that fallen angels disturbed the natural order
- logically possible that it is a punishment for Adam and Eve
- all evil stems from moral sin
- purpose
- genuity of the love relationship
- preserve liberty of indifference and religious ambiguity
- not controlled robots
- Evil is a result of free will
