Evaluation of Augustine's Theodicy

                1. Schleiermacher: a logical contradiction to say a perfect world went wrong. Evil may be a deprivation but it's still present in the world.
                  1. Relies on the story of Adam and Eve, there's no proof of this. The Bible shouldn't be taken literally.
