However, Brain Davies (1993) points out the most troublesome consequence of accepting Swinburne’s…

Are nations not in the wrong to seek out the origin of moral and physical evil if the evils that overwhelm man end in general good?” Leibniz: “If the world is a self-contained, unified series of succession of infinity of things, then God chooses between possible worlds with an indifference but not with…

to speak of the creative presence of God in the beginning of the fine-tuned universe and in the development of the self-organizing universe through the 2nd law of thermodynamics within the context of contemporary quantum cosmology. Those categories of contingency based on creatio ex nihilo and creatio continua also enable theology to speak of God’s objectively creative presence in the course of biological evolution and the emergence of consciousness. While God sustains regularities after…
