Schellenberg’s Conceptual Argument refuses the existence of a God who does not explicitly reveal Himself, by making the following two claims on the basis of divine love:

1. A perfectly loving God would actively seek to make his relationship available to those who are reasonable non-believers, i.e, nonresisters.
2. For such a relationship to be available, there must be sufficient evidence of God's existence which promotes reasonable belief. Otherwise, there is no reason to believe, and nonresisters continue to live unaware of the hidden God.

The central core of any theodicy must, I believe, be the 'freewill defence', which deals—to start with—with moral evil, but can be extended to deal with much natural evil as well. The free-will defence claims that it is a great good that humans have a certain sort of free will which I shall call free and responsible choice, but that, if they do, then necessarily there will be the natural possibility of moral evil.

William Rowe’s formulation for the cosmological argument claims that the Universe must have an atemporal cause for its existence called God. Rowe argues that proponents suggest that objects in the Universe can only be dependent beings (their existence is explained by some other being or event), or necessary beings (self-existing beings responsible for their own existence). Not all beings can be dependent, as this would lead to a chain of contingent events and causes extending into the past ad infinitum (an “infinite regress”), with no explanation for the collection’s existence. Hence, there must be a necessary being that caused the existence of the Universe, and that being is God.
