371The divine attributesPhilosophy Compass 5 (1): 78-90. 2010.Focusing on God's essential attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, being eternal and omnipresent, being a creator and sustainer, and being a person, I examine how far recent discussion has been able to provide for each of these divine attributes a consistent interpretation. I also consider briefly whether the attributes are compatible with each other.

1946The Argument from ImperfectionPhilo 9 (2): 113-130. 2006.The paper argues that given the defining features of the God of “perfect being” theology, God would not create any contingently existing things. To do so would introduce a kind of gratuitous metaphysical imperfection in an otherwise metaphysically perfect universe. Given that in fact there are contingent things, it follows that the God of perfect being theism does not exist.

151Critical Review of Mary Midgley's Intelligent Design Theory and Other Ideological ProblemsJournal of Philosophy of Education 48 (4): 665-674. 2014.Mary Midgley's pamphlet Intelligent Design Theory and Other Ideological Problems has been a widely read contribution to discussions of the place of creationism in schools.
