is economics a science why or why not 1
Please write a clear and well-argued answer.
1.(35%)Is economics a science? Why or why not? Your response should be between
300 and 500 words. (A good answer requires a clear and precise definition of
science.I am not seeking the correct answer, but rather a well-argued one.)
2.(35%)
Consider the following claim: “An all-loving, all-powerful, all-knowing God
would never permit suffering, but because suffering exists, such a God does not exist.”
What are the logical problems with this argument? (You do not need to write an essay
here.)
(Hint: there are two hidden assumptions here: first, that an omnipotent and omniscient
God can create any world He wants; and second, that an omnibenevolent God would
never allow suffering. What is wrong with these premises?)
