Investigate philosophical responses to the problem of evil in the context of arguments for the existence of God

Investigate philosophical responses to the problem of evil in the context of arguments for the existence of God. Discuss the logical problem of evil, which challenges the compatibility of God’s existence with the existence of evil and suffering in the world. Analyze responses such as theodicies, defenses, and skeptical theism, which seek to reconcile the existence of evil with the attributes of an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God. Evaluate the implications of different responses for religious faith, moral theology, and existential meaning.
