Natural Evil

In episode 8, the last episode of this series, we invited two speakers: Dr Vinoth Ramachandra, theologian, author and speaker, with a doctorate in nuclear engineering and Prof. Daniela De Angelis, a statistical scientist working in public health to talk about Natural Evil. We learned what the difference between natural and moral evil is, what the “problem of evil” is, creating vs permitting evil and how we are to understand the plagues in the book of Exodus. Prof De Angelis also shared with us what her personal experience has been like as part of the Royal Statistical Society Task Force for COVID-19.

We also had a chance to comment on an interview Stephen Fry did a few years ago that went viral (linked below in resources) and C.S. Lewis’ struggle to find consolation after the death of his wife from cancer in ‘A Grief Observed’.

Why did God not create a world so perfect that no evil could exist in it?
