    There is a few problems with this diagram:

    1. Why should God want only the good? What is the paradox of God wanted to do whatever it want with its creation? The all-powerful, all-knowing God would have create Satan and wanted that he did all bad things he did.
    2. Why should the test be to let God know about us? It could be about letting us know about ourself.

    Also the branch that are not yes/no does not cover all possibility. Therefore, this is not a paradox but rather an incomplet thought. I know that much from UML.

    I don’t know much about history but didn’t Epicure lived at a time where people believe their was multiple gods? Why is it not mentioned in the scheme? Did he believe that there was only one god?

      1. Why should God want only the good?

      Because otherwise god could not be considered all-god or all benevolent

      1. Why should the test be to let God know about us? It could be about letting us know about ourself.

      Because if his is all powerful, god could have made us with that knowledge already acquired

      Also the branch that are not yes/no does not cover all possibility. Therefore, this is not a paradox but rather an incomplet thought

      Can you add any that would actually not end up conflicting with “not all powerful”, “not all knowing” or “not all good”?
