Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of evil, specifically some conceptual issues related to proposing that God should/could create an evil-free world. In this paper, I aim to identify two potential problems related to the construction of an evil-free world and suggest that one should, at best, remain agnostic about the possibility of whether an omnipotent God could actualize any such state of affairs.
