Evaluating the Irenaean Theodicy

Advantages

  • Developed morality is the most valuable (defends evil)
  • explanations for MORAL & NATURAL evil
  • Defends God of classical theism
  • Suffering gives us persepective
  • Supports evolution

Disadvantages

  • Degree of suffering is not always needed (an Omni-benelovent God would have let us develop less painfully)
  • What is the point in being moral if we all go to Heaven?
  • Requires a belief in Heaven
  • Suffering can cause the opposite effect
  • Why did God not make us perfect?
  • Inconsistant Triad!

Evaluation

Weak argument!
