Ep 50: The Problem of Evil (Part 9)- Objections to Molinism, Christians Creating Suffering, & the Rise of Natural Theology
In our last episode in this series, we explored how Molinism attempts to solve the problem of evil; but in today's episode, we will explore some of the objections to Molina's creative theodicy. How might Hitler and the Joker get us to reconsider whether this theodicy does what it sets out to do?
Plus, how did the evil and suffering perpetrated by "Christians" in the 16th-18th century lead to the beginnings of secularism?
What is natural theology? How did the scientific revolution lead to its popularization? How did natural theologians like Gottfried Leibniz attempt to address the problem of evil? What are the strengths and weaknesses of trying to do theodicy within the framework of natural theology?
