Does the Christian Faith Fail? Part 3 - The Goodness of God and Animal Suffering (Clarke Scheibe)
Listen now
Description
This is the third talk in this series on Loftus's Christian Delusion. Here we deal with what Loftus refers to as the "Darwinian problem of evil," particularly in regard to animal suffering. Many evolutionists point to the evidence of animals suffering prior to human existence. How can this be? Can God be good if animals were created to suffer before the fall of humanity? Christians have offered several possible solutions to this question but are any of them sufficient? (This was recorded on Zoom in Feb 2021.)
