Nothing takes place without a sufficient reason; nothing occurs for which it would be impossible for someone who has enough knowledge of things to give a reason adequate to determine why the thing is as it is and not otherwise.
necessary being(Theistic metaphysics)
A being that exists and is God in every possible world
omni-theism(Used as the target hypothesis being challenged by probabilistic atheistic arguments)
The belief in the existence of an omni-God (a God possessing all-encompassing attributes such as omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence)
