Is the free will defense a successful response to the problem of evil?
\n(a) Carefully and methodically (but in your words) explain how the atheist argues that God
\ndoes not exist because evil exists. Be sure to explain how the various qualities attributed to
\nGod in the Judeo-Christian tradition bear on the problem.
\n(b) Explain the distinction between moral and natural evil. Give some examples.
\n(c) Carefully explain the free will defense. Make sure that you say what type of evil the
\ndefense is concerned with. Take care to explain why a world with free beings in it, who
\nmight cause evil, is better than a world with unfree beings who always do good.
\n(d) State your thesis (answer to the title question) and justify it. You should explain the
\nphilosophical objections that have been raised against the free will defense (among them
\nMackie\u2019s argument). You should also evaluate them. Do you think that they are good
\nobjections? Do they undermine the free will defense?
