Abstract:

In this article, Griffin's conflict with traditional theists in the explanation of natural evil is discussed. Traditional theists, (Griffin considers theists who believe in the absolute power of God, secondly, believe that the power of beings is the result of God's granting them power, and thirdly, believe in the creation of the world out of nothing) as traditional.) This is how they explain that, first, they are caused by the descent of an angel or demonic power. Secondly, the existence of this villain is an integral part of the natural world with its governing laws. Thirdly, their existence is necessary for the development of moral and spiritual virtues for humans. David Griffin, the philosopher of dynamic religion, although sometimes attributes natural evil to satanic power in a different way, and even considers the evil of this world to be the product of the inherent laws of this world, but his conflict with traditional theists is over the doctrine of God's absolute power, why God has This attribute has not created the world in such a way that there is less pain and suffering in it and intervened in order to achieve this. In other words, why doesn't God exercise his omnipotence in uprooting the terrible evil.
