y God couldn’t humans with strong souls in the first place, I believe both the answers that are provided, that are to attain a sense of pride or the parenting analogy, fail miserably. Neither is a sense of pride crucial enough to us to justify inhumane suffering nor are parents a match for an all-PKG God. So, I believe that no explanation satisfactorily explains why evil exists in huge proportions and extremity while only a minute proportion should have been allowed by an all-PKG God for the purpose of soul building.

VI. Conclusion

The argument from evil aims at denouncing the existence of God by the impossibility of co-existence of an all PKG God and evil. The first version of this argument employing three interlinked premises puts forth a logical deduction stating that if God is all PKG then evil must not exist but since it does therefore God doesn’t exist. To reject this argument one of the three premises must be rejected. Rejecting the second premise is most plausible. Theodicy rejects the second premise with the concept of soul building evil, but it fails to explain the existence of evil in abundance and enormity as soul building evils form only a small portion of the evil inflicting mankind . What is needed to reject this argument is therefore an explanation that governs the existence of evil in abundance in presence of an all-PKG God.
