Presentism, Timelessness, and Evil

There is an objection to divine timelessness which claims that timelessness shouldn’t be adopted since on this view evil is never "destroyed," "vanquished," "eradicated" or defeated. By contrast, some divine temporalists think that presentism is the key that allows evil...

520 |a There is an objection to divine timelessness which claims that timelessness shouldn’t be adopted since on this view evil is never "destroyed," "vanquished," "eradicated" or defeated. By contrast, some divine temporalists think that presentism is the key that allows evil to be destroyed/vanquished/eradicated/defeated. However, since presentism is often considered to be inconsistent with timelessness, it is thought that the presentist solution is for defenders of timelessness. In this paper I first show how divine timelessness is consistent with a presentist view of time and then how defenders of Presentist-Timelessness can adopt the presentist solution to the removal of evil. After this, I conclude the paper by showing that it’s far from clear that the presentist solution is successful and that unless one weakens what is meant by the destruction/vanquishing/eradication/defeat of evil, one can only make the presentist solution work by adopting a number of additional assumptions that many will find unattractive.
