@GrahamSethMoor1 @DrScotMSullivan Of course it does, the content of your mental image is red whether or not there’s a red extramental object you’re perceiving.

@radiofreeautumn I don’t think one would need to maintain that we need to have a contrastive explanation as to why an effect obtains at one point in time rather than earlier. Also, if we’re considering the creation of space-time, it wouldn’t make sense to speak of a point in time that could’ve

@radiofreeautumn But the relation is just a Cambridge relation, meaning that whilst creation really relates to God, God doesn’t really relate to creation. That’s been the standard view for classical theists.

@GrahamSethMoor1 @DrScotMSullivan What about when I’m merely imagining a red apple?

@WriterJohnBuck I just searched up his name and came across this old tweet 😂

@radiofreeautumn Grounded in the contingency of the earth with respect to its rotations. So why can’t the contingency of creation be grounded in the metaphysical composition of creation without requiring contingency in God?

[Peter Christeas @christeas_peter]

@saltybrine9 @majestyofreason Wouldn’t a Catholic just say ordinarily the accidents remain but there can be extraordinary cases where for the purposes of providing a miracle that doesn’t occur?

@CounterApologis @WriterJohnBuck Why think that creaturely contingency is grounded in God’s choices rather than in creatures themselves?

@Leophilius Your claim has now changed quite substantially, it’s not that theists gravitate to philosophy of religion to vindicate their biases but also non-theists who are attracted to philosophy of religion are those who already have a theistic inclination. What’s your evidence for this?

[Peter Christeas @christeas_peter]

@Leophilius The point is that it’s misleading to highlight that the majority of philosophers are atheists whilst dismissing the fact that the majority of philosophers of religion are theists.
