If God, Why Evil?

Why is there evil? Why is there suffering? How do we reconcile the existence of an all-powerful and perfectly good God with the existence of evil? This question has engaged the best of minds through the centuries. The Greek philosopher Epicurus captures this problem for us: “Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?” Does the existence of evil preclude the existence of God? Sam Raju discusses this age-old question in his June 28, 2023, talk at the ThinkWell Conference in Charlottesville, VA.
