The problem of evil is the question of how to reconcile the existence of evil with the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God. If God is both benevolent and omnipotent, then why does evil exist?

The logical problem of evil is the argument that the existence of evil contradicts the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God. If God is both benevolent and omnipotent, then he would have the power and the desire to prevent evil from existing. However, evil does exist, so either God is not benevolent or he is not omnipotent.

The evidential problem of evil is the argument that the existence of evil is evidence of the non-existence of God. If God exists, then he would have the power and the desire to prevent evil from existing. However, evil does exist, so this is evidence that God does not exist.

The free will defense to the problem of evil is the argument that God created humans with free will, and humans have chosen to do evil. This means that evil is not God's fault, but rather the fault of humans.

The soul-making defense to the problem of evil is the argument that evil is necessary for humans to learn and grow. Through suffering, humans can develop virtues such as compassion, resilience, and strength.

The greater good defense to the problem of evil is the argument that evil is necessary for a greater good. For example, the suffering of one person may lead to the happiness of many others.

The mystery of evil is the idea that evil is ultimately inexplicable. There is no one answer to the question of why evil exists.
