  9. The video gives us a great summary of some of the most popular Theodicies, although even crash course cannot find a definite and satisfying theodicy.

  10. I read the book "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People" in high school and i believe at least a little bit in each of the things he said in this video. As far natural evil goes all i can really conclude is, stuff happens.

  16. The best way to answer the question of "why is there evil," might simply be what the famous Albert Einstein said: "There's no such thing as evil or cold. Cold is the absence of light just like evil is the result of the absence of goodness in people."

  17. This was really interesting way to answer "Why is there evil" question. As a Christian, I agree that evil comes from free will that God gave to the humans. We have human desires and wills that some people act on without care of consequence. I also agree with what Jose said, that evil is the absence of good.

  19. The video offers great points in how philosophers get the question of what is truly evil and it's broad spectrum.

  20. I believer evil can be represented in many ways and forms, in some cases evil may not even be actual state of mind, it might just be misrepresentation of the self and I feel like this video could've touched upon other topics n relation that could've provided a more open outlook.

  21. The video talks about what is truly evil and how its not just so black and white, great video.

  22. The video basically talks about how evil can take many different forms and it does not fall into one specific criteria.

  23. In essence I believe the human problem goes as far as our human nature to survive oneself for ones life, hence where greed and sin comes from.

  24. Crash course makes very informative videos but I personally think that they do not give a good perspective on god.

  25. Crash course never fails get the point across in an easy way that explains the topic being discussed. This video was very informative and helped be understand the concept of evil from a different perspective.
