SAYING GOD AND EVIL ARE CONTRARIES SEEMS OBVIOUS BUT IS IT?
Plantinga's formal proof for God and evil being logically compatible is as
follows:
1 God is all-powerful, all-knowing of the past and present and future and
totally and flawlessly good.
2 There is evil in the universe.
3 Every essence suffers from transworld depravity - that is has moral defects
for it cannot be perfectly good when only God can be perfectly as in unlimitedly
good.
4 God creates a world that contains moral good.
He concludes that a universe made by an all-good God can have evil in it.
The errors are as follows.
He says that 3 fits God's omnipotence. But who cares? What is more relevant is
the question, "Does it fit God's love?"
The assumption is that God and evil can fit together though God detests evil.
They fit for evil is imperfect goodness and it is because goodness exists we are
able to condemn evil.
