In fact, several (contemporary) philosophers would insist that we live in this very world. I think that all properties thought in the concept of God are contingent, unless the properties thus considered are mutually exclusive (i.e. simultaneously logically inconsistent). For instance, God thought as simultaneously possessing both omnipotence and omniscience (properly defined) does not reflect a contingent possibility: it simply cannot exist. Such an entity is necessarily impossible by definition. Although the idea of a non-omnibenevolent or even 'evil' God would contradict with traditional christian definitions, in itself it does not reflect a necessary impossible conception of God. It seems entirely possible to conceive of a world in which there exists an omnipotent yet 'evil' God.Brandon Pakkerhttps://uu.academia.edu/BrandonPakkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421705091235538349.post-52562012011393619432015-06-08T19:10:23.180+02:002015-06-08T19:10:23.180+02:00Hi Roos,
