No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Conceivability intuitions(as a way of challenging the ontological argument): Our gut feelings about what we can imagine or picture in our minds—in this case, the ability to imagine worlds where evil exists.
Epistemic status(in epistemology (the study of knowledge)): How certain or justified we are in believing something is true. It's asking: 'Do we really know this, or are we just guessing?'
Evil-permitting worlds(as examples philosophers use to test ideas about God): Imaginary scenarios or possible universes in which evil and suffering are allowed to exist.
ontological argument(Described as an early and now-canonical formulation found in Anselm's Proslogion.): An argument that seeks to demonstrate God's existence from the concept or definition of God alone, without appeal to empirical evidence.
