ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT A
DEDUCTIVE VERSION OF THE ARGUMENT FROM EVIL
(“BEST POSSIBLE WORLD” VERSION)
1. If God exists, then He is omnipotent, omniscient, and all
good.
2. If God is omnipotent, then he can do anything that is
possible.
3. If God is omniscient, then He knows everything that is
true.
4. If God is all good, then He would have created the best
possible world (if He could and knew that He could).
5. This, the actual world, is not the best possible
world.

6. God does not exist.
