A well-known objection to divine will/divine command moral theories is that they commit us to the view that God’s will is arbitrary. I argue that several versions of divine will/divine command moral theories, including two of Robert Adams’s versions of the DCT and my own divine preference theory, can be successfully defended against this objection. I argue that, even if God’s preferences are so...

Kepler attempted to prove Divine design in the system of the world but actually had to attribute the eccentricities of the planetary orbits to randomness. Kant and even Laplace supported Kepler’s conclusion although Newton had proved that the eccentricities depended on the velocities of planetary motion. However, the velocities themselves are random; the system of the world does not exclude ran...

Since 1969, the superstructure has been the usual approach to nonstandard analysis. The method used to measure the strength of a GDmodel Divine attribute, which is comparable to a human attribute, is, at least, partially expressible in terms of cardinality. In this paper, it is shown that for the non-atomic approach to superstructure construction such a cardinality does not have a set-theologic...
