Jeffrey Schloss, Professor of Biology at Westmont College and Director of Biological Programs for the Christian Environmental Association; and Nancey Murphy, Professor of Christian Philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary reflect on current debates about intelligent design, emergent research on science and religion, the environment, and other issues of contemporary concern. Dr. Murphy was the Adventist Forum Conference keynote speaker in 2006.

Professor Nancy Murphy seems to accept the notion that ours is probably the best of all possible worlds the Lord could have created and that suffering is unavoidable. This hypothesis negates every promise of a better world to come made by the Bible writers and by Jesus himself.
If Jesus is the clearest revelation we have received from God, then it follows that Nancy is wrong and Jesus is right. I can't reconcile her theory with the one that emanates from the teachings of Jesus Christ, who promissed a new earth and a life free from pain and suffering.
