Document Summary
The meditator has concluded that an all perfect god exists, and would. But we sometimes make mistakes in judgments and reasoning. How is it that we could ever go wrong, in our reasoning, if an all perfect. God created us and would never deceive us. The meditator concludes that her ability to judge can"t go wrong when used properly. We have an understanding that is more limited than god"s. Giving us a limited power of judgment, instead of an unlimited power of judgment isn"t objectionable. The problem isn"t that there are things i don"t know. The problem us that there are times were incorrect. How there can be evil in the world, if the world was created by an all knowing, all loving, all powerful being. The meditators goal is to understand how there could be room for error, given a perfectly good god.
