Lecture five: the argument from evil: introductory matters, arguments and refutations. Is not the same as arguing the not p. For example it is not perfectly possible to think that the ontological. Argument is not a good argument, but nonetheless to believe in god: the state of play the cosmological argument. We have seen 2 major kinds of argument in favor of the existence of god. Other arguments in favour of the existence of god the argument of design the moral argument. The argument from evil: the nature of god in the abrahamic religions, omnipotence. God is all powerful, that is, able to do all things- or at least all things that are logically possible.
