not accept his point because she argues about “ the day is not really perfect “ (p10) because she see no good reason a perfect being (God) would want her to have the flu and to jerk herself out of bed with an unpleasant alarm in order to have a nice day fishing with a friend. She claims that “ the one evil does not explain the other; they both reinforce the same conclusion. No perfect God would have designed the world like this.” (p11) It seems that she admits there is evil in this world but all-perfect God cannot exist, so she does not admit Miller to win the debate. On the other hand, Miller thinks he won the debate because he had to shown Weirob that his belief is consistent. Therefore, Miller asks Cohen to be the judge. Cohen is a neutral one and also joining in their discussion. Then Weirob raises the example of barber and P and Q statement in order to let Miller know if he wants to convince her, he must provide a possible big picture which provide her with a story that makes God’s perfection and the suffering of his creatures fit together in a consistent whole. She claims, “The whole need not be true. It can be far-fetched and unbelievable. But you need to show how evil can enter into a world created by his all-perfect God, to show the basic mechanisms of evil.” (p23) Then Miller uses three parts of theodicy to solve her argument. The first thing in his theodicy is the freedom of choice. This theodicy seems to be the most important in this book. He raises the example that Weirob can have her freedom of choice by choosing mushroom soup or chicken soup in order to make her satisfy and feel good. Also, he raises one more example that a bird’s suffering was Weirob’s fault, not God’s. With this example, he claims, “through the actions of humans and other free creatures exercising their freedom, imperfection and evil enter the world.” (p.28) Wei...
