2009/10/09 | oct 8-9 Show the movie Bella. The first objection to the existence of God is that since God is by definition infinite goodness and infinite power, there should be no evil in the world. There is clearly evil in the world, therefore, there is no God. Aquinas replies to this objection by arguing that God allows evil that good might come of it. In the movie Bella the principle character experiences personal tragedy. And yet, at some level through this tragedy some good does arise. Discuss how this occurs in the movie Bella. Also, discuss the broader theme of good coming out of evil. |
