Thanks for the invitation to your blog.
...Anders,<br /><br />Thanks for the invitation to your blog.<br /><br />I've just been browsing William Lane Craig and J. P. Moreland's (eds.) <a href="http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1405176571.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology</i> (Wiley-Blackwell 2009)</a>. Chapter 10, i.e., Robert E. Maydole's "The Ontological Argument," looks interesting - and challenging.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />HendrikHendrik van der Breggenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149481975577863835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189981194016418049.post-59606074825301697802009-09-12T07:17:11.863-05:002009-09-12T07:17:11.863-05:00Hendrik van der Breggen,

First he would deduce the existence of a Creator of the universe with some specific premises (found in my blog (bloganders.blogspot.com ;left menu)) and he would also continue to deduce the Creator's purpose with humankind (also written down in my blog (left menu)).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418091459248577266noreply@blogger.com
