The Enlightenment's Mockery Of An Explanation For Evil
Voltaire was one of the most prolific attackers of the problem of evil during the Enlightenment. Voltaire's rhetoric, arguments, and yes, even poems against people like Leibniz show this clash with dealing with the claim that evil is necessary for the best of all possible worlds explanation.

While this is a philosophy podcast, we've always made clear that philosophy is not the ultimate standard. Philosophy apart from God's revelation for the Christian is not a Christian position. Yes, philosophy is true. However, the philosophy is only true when it's tied to the thoughts of God and not the thoughts of man. That's why our view of theodicy must conform with the revealed view of Scripture; we can't compromise God.

Bart Ehrman claims that Mark is completely unaware of the virgin birth of Jesus that are included in Matthew & Luke. Arguments from silence tend to be very tenuous. Both Mark and John give undesigned coincidences that they knew about the virgin birth.

We wrap up Professor Pearcey's book with a challenge to Christians and to the Church. That challenge is to stand firm on the Word of God as you say that you do, learn and use critical thinking skills that God encourages us to use, and to go into the world preaching the Good News of the Gospel. We thank Nancy Pearcey for her work and you can check out her links in our interview with her in episode 69.

Well, what could be the answer that John Frame gives for God's existence and evil's existence? How can He redeem and still be good? How can evil have a place but God to be just?
