In his work the ‘Evil and Omnipotence’ John Mackie discusses God’s existence through three assumptions – “God is omnipotent; God is wholly good; and yet evil exists.” (Mackie, 1955, p. 200). Mackie’s perception of God is founded on these three views, which are the premises upon which the discussion of the ‘Evil and Omnipotence’ rests. In his discussions, Mackie suggests that philosophy does not only question the existence of God, but can also prove that there is no God.
