Argument for · deductive
Logical Possibility via Modal Realism
Premises
- P1
A maximally great being is defined as necessarily existent, omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.
assumed - P2
The existence of a multiverse does not logically preclude a necessary being, because a necessary being can be the ground of all possible worlds.
disputed - P3
In modal realism, possible worlds (or universes) are concrete entities, and a necessary being can exist in all of them.
established
Deduction
If a necessary being can ground all concrete worlds, then it can ground a multiverse of worlds.
Conclusion
It is logically possible for a maximally great, personal, transcendent being to exist in a multiverse.
Structural assessment
Depends on the disputed premise that a necessary being can coherently ground multiple causally disconnected universes.
Recorded limitations (2)
- Relies on acceptance of modal realism.
- Assumes the multiverse consists of concrete worlds rather than abstract possibilities.
