    How to Speak about a Supreme Being
    If the transcendence tree to which our world belongs has a root, and that root is a mind, then what can be known about that mind? It seems there are two sources of knowledge, theology (that mind may have revealed itself to us) and philosophy (we may be able to reason about it from first principles). Here we shall look into that latter aspect.

    From “Is” to “Ought” in one easy step
    The grounding of absolute morality requires surmounting some hurdles, including Euthyphro’s dilemma, Hume’s guillotine, and Moore’s naturalistic fallacy. This paper shows how those hurdles don’t prevent moral absolutes in a transcendent idealist setting. (Incomplete draft.)

    The World's Haecceity is the Dual of My Thrownness
    We live in a contingent world, a world that could have been different. A common way to deal with this contingency is by positing the existence of all possibilities. This, however, doesn’t get rid of the contingency – it merely moves it from the third-person view to the first-person view.

    Tightening the Statistical Resurrection Argument
    McGrew & McGrew make a solid statistical case for the historicity of the resurrection. This article fills two lacunae in the argument given there, and repairs a conceptual error (making the first lacuna irrelevant in the process).

    The asymmetry in Tobia's modal arguments
    In Tobia (2016), Kevin P. Tobia tests for bias using two ontological arguments claimed to be symmetrical and of equal strength. We show they are neither.

    The multiverse doesn't affect the Anthropic argument
    Often, the possibility of a multiverse is given as a defeater for the anthropic argument: if there are many, possibly even an infinite number of worlds, then the probability of having a life-permitting world is no longer low. This article shows that the possibility of a multiverse doesn’t defeat the anthropic argument.

    Transcendent mediocrity is the neutral position
    In the light of the principle of mediocrity, naturalism is in fact transcendent exceptionalism - as opposed to transcendent mediocrity. As such, it has the burden of proof - and the "inverse criterion" defeats many of such alleged proofs.

    A baker's dozen and a half compossibles
    Molinism, libertarian free will, predestination, evil, a sin-free heaven, God being omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and perfectly just, this world being replete with injustice, this being the best of all possible worlds, heinous suffering, and no-one unjustly suffering are all compossible. Religious world-views tend to make many claims that non-believers tend to find contradictory. A well-known pair is God’s absolute goodness and the existence of intense evil.

    Molinism, libertarian free will, predestination, evil, a sin-free heaven, God being omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and perfectly just, this world being replete with injustice, this being the best of all possible worlds, heinous suffering, and no-one unjustly suffering are all compossible. Religious world-views tend to make many claims that non-believers tend to find contradictory. A well-known pair is God’s absolute goodness and the existence of intense evil. This paper shows the compossibility of a largish number of such claims, by a constructive existence proof: a possible world in which they all are actualised.
