Chapter 3- The Problem of Evil
Like many have said, “Everything happens for a reason.” There are so many types of “evil” that people overlook what is meant. For example, natural evil such as earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, etc. and moral evil which is crime, revenge, etc. But even as living organisms, we evolve and believe it or not but survival of the fittest is known to be evil. I just wanted to take this chance to clarify what is meant to be/happen as far as evil is involved.

Chapter 8- The Case Against Free Will
Traditionally, “free will” is just one of those things that is supposed to separate human beings from everything else in the universe. Human beings have free will, it is said, and nothing else does (except, perhaps, for God). Morality: It is often assumed that the possession of free will is a necessary condition for moral evaluation. Nonhuman animals do not have free will, it is said, and this is why it is meaningless to speak of their actions as being “right” or “wrong”. But, human beings can freely choose their actions, and so are subject to moral evaluation. Free will is said to be extremely valuable. Many people would say that life would not be worth living without it. So…what exactly is free will? Roughly, having free will is a matter of having control over one’s actions. This seems to imply that free will requires that our actions are not determined by outside forces.
