| Σύνοψη: | In this article, we evaluate various responses to a noteworthy objection, namely, the infinite God objection to the kalam cosmological argument. As regards this objection, the proponents of the kalam argument face a dilemmaeither an actual infinite cannot exist or God cannot be infinite. More precisely, this objection claims that Gods omniscience entails the existence of an actual infinite with God knowing an actually infinite number of future events or abstract objects, such as mathematical truths. We argue, however, that the infinite God objection is based on two questionable assumptions, namely, (1) that it is possible for an omniscient being to know an actually infinite number of things and (2) that there exist an actually infinite number of abstract objects for God to know. |
