[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

I certainly believe my own ideas. Then are far more nuanced than you might think. And maybe you need to read more theology. Consider this analogy:

What’s more, wouldn’t this objection be levied at Plantinga for his free will defense? He doesn’t argue that Molinism is true, but that if it were true this would resolve the apparent conflict, so we can’t claim these things are conflict any more. Can you point to any one who dismissed his logic merely because he hadn’t committed to Molinism being true?

I’m doing here exactly what Plantinga did. Are you familiar with his work? He convinced many atheist philosophers that he had solved the logical problem of evil:

Alvin Plantinga's free-will defense

@tim1 just wrote a thesis on this and I perhaps he will jump in with some thoughts.
