    Key Terms

    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
    authoritative ranking of goods(as used in ethics and value theory)
    A single, official list that says which things are most valuable or important that everyone should follow, with no room for disagreement.
    evaluative framework(as used in philosophy of friendship and epistemology)
    A shared set of beliefs about what's good, bad, valuable, or worthless that two people use to make judgments.
    objective condition(as used in metaphysics)
    Facts about your situation that are true regardless of what you think or feel about them—like how much money you actually have, not how rich you feel.
