solved For the second writing* you must choose to discuss only
For the second writing* you must choose to discuss only ONE argument for the existence of God (either the design argument OR the problem of evil) – NOT BOTH* no matter which argument you choose to discuss, you can take either the side of the believer or the atheist. Here is one way for you to decide which argument to discuss.First, ask yourself whether you are a believer or an atheist (non-believer) or at least more inclined toward one position rather than the other.Second, once you have determined which position you *initially* are more inclined to support, pick the OTHER side. E.g. if you are an atheist, pick the believer side. This is the side that you are going to do your best to defend in your writing.Then, you pick which argument you want to discuss, either the design argument or the problem of evil – you can choose either, but I would recommend choosing the argument that you believe makes the stronger case for the side that you are defending in your writing.AtheistLet’s say that you are writing on behalf of the believer (given that you are initially more inclined toward atheism). And you think that the believer might have a better case in favor of the existence of the Omni-God by appealing to the existence of COP in the universe. In this case, your discussion should be limited to the design argument.If instead you think that the believer has a better case in support of the existence of God by showing that God can better explain the existence of evil and suffering, then your discussion should be limited to the problem of evil.BelieverVice versa, if you are more inclined toward the belief in the existence of God, you are going to write on behalf of the atheist. If you think that the atheist might have a better case against the existence of the Omni-God by appealing to the existence of COP in the universe, your discussion should be limited to the design argument.If instead you think that the atheist has a better case against the existence of God by showing that God’s nature is incompatible with the existence of evil and suffering, then your discussion should be limited to the problem of evil.
