Why is simple software needed?
There is a brief discussion of epistemology (the
philosophy of knowledge), a review of the classical arguments for
the existence of God, then a section on the so-called “problem of
evil”, the question of why God would permit suffering caused by
either human nature or natural events.

Kuro5hin brings us a deep
and interesting article about the existence of god. From the
article:

Also from the article:
…when I was twelve the Catholic school I attended
made the mistake of teaching me apologetics. Up to this time, the
religious arrangements of the universe had been taken for granted,
like gravity or water. Now we were told that you could prove God’s
existence in four (count ‘em) ways.It took no time at all for me to realise that if you could prove
God’s existence it was a matter for disputation, not a fact… I
struggled out of my bonds, leapt to the window, and with one bound
I was free.
This sentece is my favourite:
Kant’s refutation is widely, but not universally
accepted. The refutation of the refutation of his refutation is
left as an exercise for the reader, because things are getting
silly by this point and I don’t totally understand it
myself.
