New Apologetics We are happy that you asked. As far as we know, our version of the modal ontological argument is the newest. One of our contributors has been working on it for about 15 years, and it finally seems to have reached a point of refinement where it appears to hold water against all known criticisms. Ironically, the author rejected earlier versions because they were “too complex.” There are immense implications if this proof is sound as it not only proves God, but the *redemption* as well. It also vindicates Ernst Malley’s deontic logic, which was dismissed out of hand in the early 20th century. We will explain what we mean if you are interested.
If you go to our website
newapologetics.com and look under “The Tractatus,” the argument appears in Article 3.
Some notes: The presentation there is pretty raw, and is not necessarily intended to be understood by a general audience. It is mostly “for the record”, and for professors of philosophy who have a background in modal logic. As time permits, the content of the Tractatus is going to be greatly expanded and refined. We expect to produce about 50 additional articles in 2013 covering many topics in philosophy of religion in a totally new way.
If you are interested in understanding the proof, we would enjoy translating it to normal language and walking you through it. Also, it would save us a lot of work if anyone can poke a hole in the argument. Open invitation to all to whack the piñata…
