Is theism a simple hypothesis? The simplicity of omni-properties
One reason for thinking that theism is a relatively simple theory - and that it is thereby more likely to be true than other theories, ceteris paribus - is to insist that infinite degrees of properties are simpler than extremely large, finite degrees of properties. This defence of theism has been ch...

| 520 | |a One reason for thinking that theism is a relatively simple theory - and that it is thereby more likely to be true than other theories, ceteris paribus - is to insist that infinite degrees of properties are simpler than extremely large, finite degrees of properties. This defence of theism has been championed by Richard Swinburne in recent years. I outline the objections to this line of argument present in the literature, and suggest some novel resources open to Swinburne in defence. I then argue that scientists' preference for universal nomological propositions constitutes a very strong reason for supposing that theism is simpler than parodical alternatives in virtue of its positing omni-properties rather than parallel mega-properties'. | ||
