Resolving what's often labeled the problem of evil is actually straightforward. All you need is finitism and it vanishes.If God is the best possible being, then God wants to maximize good. In a world without finitism, that means God would set the "goodness level" to ∞ in all scenarios. Any describable deficiency of good in any subdivision of any scenario would be a serious counterpoint. If finitism is true however, that isn't possible. Nothing can have a value of ∞.What's the next best possible thing? Setting it to a value that surpasses every finite quantity (which keeps it best) while not being an actual infinity (which keeps it possible). This is what's called a potential infinity.This manifests as God ensuring that total good is always increasing and never decreases, but it does mean he can't act beyond what is necessary to keep good growing: he can't increase it himself directly in most circumstances. Hence not curing diseases directly or directly giving every hungry person food and so on.So under finitism, there really just simply isn't a problem of evil. Anything God does not directly improve, we know why.Good short quick video on this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YKUhD7--LKw
show me a particle called "evil"can I see it? smell it? hear it? measure it?
>>18582601I would posit that evil is defined as the set of values that, if allowed to increase, eventually result in the cessation of the growth of good
>>18582611So you need time travel to measure evilness? You can't actually detect evil in the moment?
>>18582617Nah just prediction. You don't need a time machine to predict for example that a world where deaths will exceed births, or thirst exceeds drinking, or hunger exceeds eating will all inevitably be worlds devoid of life.
>God is finiteHey, it's not my eternal soul.
>>18582630I think you're likely misunderstanding what's meant by the term here. Would you elaborate on the perceived issue?

>>18582669I'll...keep that in mind o_o
