[Vision2020] Debate on Evil

[Nick Gier]

Hi Michael,

I thought I had already started the debate by giving you my Katrina column 
and my article on divine power.  If you want a specific focus, I challenge 
you (1) to offer a creationist, theistic solution to "metaphysical" evil 
that does not resort to Manicheanism; and (2) to demonstrate that Yahweh, 
who called for the genocide of the Canaanites and destroyed Job and his 
family, can be called "good."  Since a literal reading of scripture says 
that Yahweh does "evil," then it appears that we have made evidential 
claims of evil and the problem of induction a moot point.

I eagerly await your reply.
