Complexidade e o problema do mal

Abstract

Most if not all arguments that purport to demonstrate that God does not exist or that the probability of His existence is low depend, explicitly or implicitly, on the idea that there are gratuitous evils or that, if God existed, He would have created a better world. The goal of this MA thesis is to evaluate the difficulties that the consequential complexity of history could pose to the formulation of this type of arguments. Additionally, I seek to briefly investigate how the molinist model of divine providence, which postulates God s knowledge of what became known in the literature as counterfactuals of freedom, incorporates or should incorporate the question of the causal complexity of the world.
