Abstract

I present Rowe's various evidential arguments from evil and argue that they are unsuccessful, that is, not such as ought to persuade Theists to renounce their Theism. Nonetheless, I insist that the kinds of considerations to which Rowe appeals in his arguments advert to evidence that really does favor Naturalism over Theism. Moreover, I argue that some well‐known Skeptical Theist arguments do not overturn the conclusion that horrendous evil is evidence that favors Naturalism over Theism.
