God might be responsible for physical evil
Australasian Journal of Philosophy 87 (3):513 – 515 (2009)
Abstract
Alexander Bird has a two-part argument to the effect that God could only have created a world without physical evil by changing either the laws or the initial conditions of the universe, and that no such world would be at all like ours: so God is not responsible for physical evil. I argue that both parts of his argument fail.Author's Profile
