Year 8 RE Lesson: The Problem of Evil – Does Suffering Prove God Does Not Exist?
School logos have been removed from the PPT.
This lesson explores the classic challenge to belief in God: If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why does evil exist? Pupils learn about the Inconsistent Triad, examples of moral and natural evil, and Christian responses such as free will, original sin, and trust in God’s plan. Activities include comprehension questions, keyword tasks, sorting examples of evil, diagram drawing, and extended writing evaluating both sides of the debate.
