Skeptical theism is a family of responses to arguments from evil. One important member of that family is Stephen Wykstra’s CORNEA-based criticism of William Rowe’s arguments from evil. A cornerstone of Wykstra’s approach is his CORNEA principle. However, a number of authors have criticized CORNEA on various grounds, including that it has odd results, it cannot do the work it was meant to, and it problematically conflicts with the so-called common sense epistemology. In this paper, I explicate and defend a CORNEA principle. After sketching a brief argument for it, I show how it can be acquitted of these recent charges.

怀疑的有神论是对邪恶论证的回应。该家族的一个重要成员是斯蒂芬·维克斯特拉（Stephen Wykstra）基于CORNEA的批评威廉·罗（William Rowe）的邪恶论据。Wykstra方法的基石是他的CORNEA原则。但是，许多作者以各种理由批评了CORNEA，包括它产生了奇怪的结果，它无法完成其原本打算的工作，并且与所谓的常识认识论相冲突。在本文中，我阐述并捍卫了CORNEA原则。在勾勒出一个简短的论点之后，我将展示如何将这些最近的指控无罪化。
