Evil and God, No Problem!
Most of The Problem of Evil is fairly easy to understand, if one is familiar with the nomenclature of metaphysics or systematic theology. Inwagen frames a number of his arguments in dialogical form by creating dramatis personae Theist and Atheist, who argue about the logical problem of evil in front of an imaginary neutral crowd. The dialogue is interesting, to a point, though I believe that van Inwagen tries to be too clever at times. Moreover, I would not call his arguments conclusive, in any sense of the word, but the read is overall enjoyable and enlightening. Finally, I must say that the author does provide compelling evidence that the counterfactuals of freedom notion cannot be used to place God in a bad light. For even if God does have middle knowledge (SCIENTIA MEDIA), there is no guarantee that the supposed counterfactuals of freedom will allow God to create a world in which humans always do what is right and never commit evil acts. This idea reminds one of Alvin Plantinga's transworld depravity notion. See Inwagen's work for further details. In the final analysis, I believe that van Inwagen shows the failure of the logical problem of evil argument and he demonstrates (plausibly) that one cannot argue from evil to the non-existence of God. The argument simply will not work.
