    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If God transcends creation, divine power likely transcends the logical frameworks creatures developed within that creation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Modal logic (possibility/necessity) is a human conceptual tool; treating it as metaphysically binding assumes human cognition mirrors reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
