Evaluating the Free Will Defence

Advantages

  • Solves the Inconsistent Triad
  • Defends the God of classical theism
  • God would not be Omni-benevolent if he took our free will

Disadvantages

  • Newborns suffer (haven't sinned)
  • Not explain NATURAL evil (80% deaths are natural evil)
  • Calvinism: free will is an illusion
  • Mackie: why didn't God make us with a good nature/conscience?
  • God is omniscient, so knew evil would happen

Evaluation

Strongest, but still weak
