Abstract: After a brief discussion on the presence of <u><a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/nSzgC71R2NTzEQLXBFNX7zL?domain=jstor.org" title="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7476/9788526815001?turn_away=true">paraconsistent approaches in the history of Western
thought</a></u>, in special in ancient and medieval times, we will characterize paraconsistent logic, created only during the 20th century. Recently, <u><a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/U3wNC81V0PTXOz95yfo77M2?domain=scielo.br/" title="https://www.scielo.br/j/man/a/5tRrbp5BDwkycKrWKBWM3kM/">Bertato
(2021)</a></u> presented a proposal for a Formal Natural Theology through a first-order logical theory, by formally introducing fundamental concepts such as divine, necessary, and supreme. In this presentation, based on Bertato’s system, we will propose a
paraconsistent underlying approach to deal with the Logical Problem of Evil, such that the presence of contradictions does not lead to logical triviality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
