Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greater good defense assumes that the presence of evil can be justified if it helps bring about a greater amount of good. This means that some amount of evil may be necessary in order to achieve a greater good or goal. It does not address the problem of human moral evil, but rather suggests that natural evils may be allowed by God for a greater purpose. It is also not suggesting that God could not create free agents who never did wrong, but rather that the existence of free will necessitates the possibility of wrongdoing.
