Ep. #88 - Why Did God Allow COVID-19? w/ Dr. Rasmussen

What is the logical problem of evil? How should we think about particular, horrendous evils? Do they provide evidence against God's existence? What about natural evils like COVID-19 and animal suffering? In this episode, Dr. Josh Rasmussen joins us to talk through a whole host of philosophical considerations when it comes to the problem of evil and suffering. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support
