Ben's argument for modal collapse relies on a failure to recognize the distinction between active and passive potencies; the evidential argument from evil is his strongest argument, but can be rebutted given an apokatastasis + soul-building theodicy; his logical argument from divine hiddenness was quite weak given that all Trent had to do was show that there was a possible reason why God would remain hidden from non-resistant nonbelievers, one could also respond that non-resistant nonbelievers are in relationship with God even though they don't have explicit doxastic belief in God.
I think youβre reading a bit too much into my comments on the Incarnation. All I meant by those comments was that Christianity has answer to the existential problem of evil, that is not to be found in other religions. I was not saying that it deals with the whole of the problem of evil, but just that specific part. My comment on the Resurrection was not meant to show how it can be seen as answer to evil, I was rather just meant to give a description of the context of the video I sent. By the way, this sort of approach to this part of the problem of evil is explicated in his book on the Resurrection.
