Beskrivning

In this Element atheists cite animal pain as compelling evidence against the existence of the loving God portrayed in the Judeo-Christian Bible. William Rowe, Paul Draper, Richard Dawkins and others claim widespread unnecessary suffering exists in nature and challenge theism with the Evidential Problem of Natural Evil. This Element engages the scientific literature in order to evaluate the validity of those claims and offers a theodicy of God's providential care for animals through natural pain mitigating processes.

'This book is a worthwhile contribution to the literature on the problem of animal pain and is particularly useful to scientists who seek to make apologetic arguments based on empirical evidence. It expresses the power, wisdom, and goodness of God through revelations in biological science. Academics and lay readers alike will find the text highly engaging, and its brevity refreshing. The Problem of Animal Pain is highly recommended as an excellent, if partial, addition to what will continue to be a more robust conversation.' Jerry L. Risser, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith
