Evil and the God of Abraham, Anselm, and Murphy
Mark Murphy's attempt to solve the problem of evil appeals to the hypothesis, which I call Murphy's hypothesis', that an Anselmian God only has justifying reasons and not requiring reasons to promote the well-being of Her sentient creatures. Given this hypothesis, the distribution of...

| Итог: | Mark Murphy's attempt to solve the problem of evil appeals to the hypothesis, which I call Murphy's hypothesis', that an Anselmian God only has justifying reasons and not requiring reasons to promote the well-being of Her sentient creatures. Given this hypothesis, the distribution of benefits and harms that we observe in the world is not unexpected on Anselmian theism. I argue that Murphy fails to solve the problem of evil for two reasons. First, he incorrectly equates the probability of the distribution of benefits and harms given theism with the probability of that distribution given theism conjoined with Murphy's hypothesis. Second, he fails to solve the evidential problem of immorality for Christian Anselmian theists and in fact his views make that problem significantly worse. |
