So... I took a break from LJ because I was being burned out.  But I'm back! :D ... What?  No applause?

(I should be doing Spanish homework, just so ya know... but I'm here instead. lol)

The reason I came back is because I realized that LJ was a very important part of my spiritual journey as I used to chronicle things that God was teaching me about

welcome back!

also: that is so long.

i actually wrote a few pages on the problem of evil for my philosophy final. in summary, it goes:

omnipotence + omnibenevolence + evil existing = wtf?
however: if god is also omniscient, then he might know that our world with evil existing is overall better than another. god could see all possible worlds when he created ours, and chose the one in which we decided to fall because he knows that in the end it is the best world. we cannot understand fully why, because we have limited knowledge.

kind of a leibniz deal going on there, but there you are.

i mean, that only works if you already accept that god is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, and omnipotence is kind of a problem in and of itself. so is omniscience, kind of. i also deal with solving these in my totally kickass philosophy final. by which i mean, i mimicked great men who had already kind of dealt with these problems but i don't care, i'm taking credit anyway.

I personally think the best argument is, like you said, attacking anthropomorphism. (sp?) I mean, how dare we try and say that we would do a better job at designing a universe. It's counterproductive and philosophical suicide since the whole idea of a omniscient God is a God that knows what it would've been like otherwise.

Hey, that's good stuff, Mr. Seal. I'll certainly be checking this page out as you post more. It makes me realize I haven't been introspective on my blog in a while. Trey

Hey, man. Why don't you get an LJ and we could discuss our introspections with each other? lol

Yay, I'm glad you're back! I've missed your posts.

Strobel's books are excellent, thanks for reminding me of some of his best points :)
