Explain the four circumstances in david hume's a good God would exclude evil'?

Answer 1

David Hume's four basic arguments: 1) God should get rid of pain. Pain and pleasure both motivate humans equally, so why should we feel pain? If we get hungry or tired, instead of feeling the pain of it, we should just feel a LACK OF PLEASURE. This will enable us to find food, or relax our bodies in order to regain pleasure. No pain is really needed in these circumstances. 2) God should get rid of general laws of nature. For example, if someone accidentally walked off a cliff, God should interfere and make sure he does not fall to his death, or extreme pain. He should just float down. If a ship needs favourable winds, God should interfere and blow the wind that way. Good rulers and leaders should not die young, and bad rulers should not live too long. On the other hand, God should intervene with bad rulers and put them in a circumstance so that they become good rulers. 3) God should not be so stingy with his creations. While elephants are very strong, they are very slow. Humans are very smart, but we have NO physical strengths. Without our brains we are nothing. God should have given all sepcies equality. We should all be able to fly, run great speeds, have lots of strength. At the very LEAST, God should not have made us lazy (Hume thinks humans are too lazy)! 4) Inaccurate workmanship. Earth is known as the GREAT MACHINE. There are so many parts to it, but there are too many extremes. Droughts to floods, blizzards to heatwaves, volcanic eruptions to mudslides. There are so many flaws in nature. Why are there so many extremes?
