I am currently teaching Philosophy of Religion to secondary school pupils in Religious, Moral and Philosophical studies.
I find the materials at times quite limited and biased.
How would you respond to the classicical philosphical argument of the problem of evil
thanks...

If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.
If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.
If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.
If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.
Evil exists.
If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.
Therefore, God doesn't exist.
thanks...
