Evil, Pain, and the case against God: Atheist vs Theist | Alanzo Paul v Harry Amos hosted by Sam McKee
About this episode
A debate on the problem of suffering featuring Alonzo Paul and Harry Amos, exploring the implications of suffering on belief in God.
Why do we suffer, and what, if anything, can make sense of it? Live from John Colet School in Wendover, Unbelievable? hosts a compelling debate on one of the hardest questions in philosophy and faith: the problem of suffering. Joining the conversation are Alonzo Paul, a philosopher of religion based in Oxford researching horrendous and seemingly meaningless suffering, and Harry Amos, an ex-Christian philosopher who sees suffering as one of the strongest objections to belief in God. Together they explore both the intellectual problem of evil and the felt reality of pain. Is suffering evidence against an all-powerful, all-good God? Can free will, soul-making, or future hope really account for natural disasters, predation, disease, and grief? And if atheism offers a simpler explanation, does it offer enough comfort for the human experience of suffering?
