• God meets Satan's Apple: the paradox of creation Rubio, Daniel 2018 Philosophical Studies: An International Journal for Philosophy in the Analytic Tradition , Vol. 175 , Issue 12 , S. 2987 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8116 | 1573-0883 Abstract

    It is now the majority view amongst philosophers and theologians that any world could have been better. This places the choice of which world to create into an especially challenging class of decision problems: those that are discontinuous in the limit. I argue that combining some weak, plausible norms governing this type of problem with a creator who has the attributes of the god of classical theism results in a paradox: no world is possible. After exploring some ways out of the paradox, I conclude that the classical theist should accept Marilyn Adams's view that no norms (of morality or of rationality) apply to gods.
