Problem

John Hick bases the argument concerning the problem of the evil by questioning the existence of an omnipresent and omnipotent God. Though he presents a positive objection to God, he argues that if God is all loving and the most powerful then he could not create evil on earth. With the ability and powers to eliminate evil on earth, evil still exists though God plans and intends no evil, therefore, there exist likeliness that Hick doubts Gods powers over creations or even Gods existence at all.…

mental, emotional, or even online, is a very big and troubling issue in the United States today. Throughout the many years of elementary, middle, and high school, odds are most people came across a situation that would be classified as bullying. The problem with this is that very few people actually do something about it. I have seen the effects of what bullying can do to a person, especially someone who is already self-conscious. Summer camp, after fifth grade, I witnessed someone my age being…

The Problem of Evil argument focuses on the fact the existence of evil in the universe contradicts with God’s existence. I challenge the soundness of the argument, especially two particular premises which deal with omnipotence and omnibenevolence. The argument is largely considered a valid or logical argument. To examine the validity of the argument, it is necessary, first, to define the term “God” in the argument. “God” is defined here as omnipotent and omnibenevolent. This is the definition of…

1. What important connections between the “problem-solver’s mindset” (as described in the PCE text) and the line of reasoning suggested in the story above? What important connections between the PCE readings and the story above can be made? The important connection made between the “problem-solver’s mindset” and the line of reasoning suggested in the story above is that people can figure out an issue together rather than fight over it, which does not accomplish anything. The text states that…

Problem solving is a system used to get to an answer. It could be used for many subjects; however, it is especially displayed in math for the early grades. Problem solving has many branches and avenues that stream from it; there are many ways to define it. In my math for educator’s class we spent multiple days fine-tuning what it means to problem solve. We added more terms to our concept map as we used problem-solving skills in our lessons. The main theme in defining problem solving is that…

Decision-Making and Problem-Solving Processes Decision making and problem solving is selecting the most logical choice to a problem from the variety of solutions. Decision making is completed by members of management need. Problem solving can be done by non-management. To make a good decision and to solve a problem, you first have to analyze the positives and negatives of each solution and evaluate the alternatives. When making an effective decision you must be able to forecast the outcome of…

youth is more than just teaching them to read, write, add and subtract. Educating our youth involves helping students find their voice, showing them that they have someone in the corner that believes in them, and pushing them to become open-minded problem solvers. I believe that if students have these skills they can become confident young adults ready to face the outside world. There is no lesson plan on helping a student find there voice. I believe every student finds his or her own voice…

The Problem of Evil in the World The concept of theodicy emphasizes the fact that the world seems to contain many undesirable realities that would have been stopped by any being that has the ability to do so, hence the “problem of evil” (Ricoeur and Pellauer, 1985). Thus, there is a need for an explanation to reconcile the idea of the problem of evil with the existence of God. If God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good, it is vital to understand how and why that same God allows evil to…

Describe some strategies that help you solve problems and make decisions based on your reading assignment. I am a creative type of person. My brain is best at expressive and creative tasks. I have been a music producer since middle school, which explains a lot. The type of thinker I am is a mixture between intuition and algorithm. Algorithm, a step-by-step procedures that guarantee a solution. I take my time deciding on things sometimes, but mostly I use my gut feeling. (myer, 2015) Discuss…

According to Nash, “There seems to be many evils in the world that can be eliminated only by producing situations containing more evil or costing us some greater good…Suppose that many evils result from human free will or from the fact that our universe operates under natural laws or from the fact that humans exist in a setting that fosters soul-making.” (Nash, 186.) Nash explores the possibilities of free will, human beings are more inclined to natural law in which produces more good will for…
