I’ve demonstrated that evil doesn’t make God’s existence impossible or even unlikely, but one might wonder why, if God exists, He permits evil. What is the purpose? This is the question of theodicy.
I cover five reasons God might permit evil:
1. To better our souls via moral growth (soul-making theodicy)
2. To bring glory to God
3. To make moral freedom and love possible
4. To make happiness possible
5. To reveal more of God to us
