چکیده:
One of the famous defenses to the logical problem of evil is called the defense of “human imperfect knowledge” or the limitation of human cognitive abilities in distinguishing between good and evil. According to this theory, since it is basically impossible to prove the existence of absurd evil in the world, therefore, the form of the logical problem of evil is not valid. The present article, reflecting on the effectiveness of the theory of the imperfect knowledge, has come to the conclusion that if the meaning of evil in the case of the logical problem of evil is absurd evil, then this defense, as explained in the text of the article, can invalidate the case of the said problem. But if evil is meant merely pain and suffering, then the mentioned answer cannot be complete and comprehensive. In order to completely and comprehensively reject the logical problem of evil, there is no escape from entering into the discussion about the concept of divine omnipotence. In addition, this answer, even if it is a comprehensive answer, ultimately makes the existence of God probable and cannot reject the minimal claim of the logical problem of evil that the existence of God is doubtful. To negate this doubt, other answers to the problem of evil should be used. Of course, this does not mean that the "probability of the non-existence of God" is superior to the "probability of the existence of God". Rather, by the way, the defense of imperfect knowledge can also rule out this claim of the evidential problem of evils.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Of course, it should be noted that mentioning traditional and religious evidences does not mean that the effectiveness of the response of human imperfect knowledge is exclusive to religious and God-believing people; because, firstly, an atheist also never knows with certainty whether the events of the world are to their advantage or disadvantage; secondly, due to epistemic deficiency, a human cannot claim that a phenomenon is evil in the totality of the universe.
One of the responses to the logical problem of evil is the imperfect knowledge defense or the limitation of human cognitive faculties in diagnosing the good and evil of matters.
Another very important point regarding the effectiveness of the imperfect knowledge defense is that even if this response is a comprehensive one, it ultimately makes the existence of God probable and cannot negate the minimal claim of the logical argument from evil (based on the doubtfulness of God's existence).
Of course, this does not mean that "the probability of God's non-existence" has priority over "the probability of God's existence," but rather, in fact, the imperfect knowledge defense can also negate this claim, which is actually the claim of the evidential problem of evil; because the imperfect knowledge defense reveals that the evidential argument from evil is based on the unproven presupposition that human cognitive faculties have the ability to diagnose possible justified reasons for evils.
