A very interesting man. He was one of the very last so-called renaissance men. Or jack of all trades if one would prefer. Is this the best-of-all-possible-worlds? Is everything organised monadologically? (Look it up)

John | 41 comments A problem is that to answer that Q of all Q's one has to occupy a W that will Nec. color your decision! A decision about all possibilities can only be rendered if there is at least one actuality!

John | 41 comments Otherwise who is deciding and also it sounds like a tricky arg. if God is perfect how could there be less than a perfect W, unless God or his pre ported image is at fault.By just asking the Q one is already ceding that the W is less than perfect and therefore someone is suspect! And by what criteria does one decide that indeed this is the best of all poss. W' and not the worst? Is the creator or his prime creation at fault as explained in Genesis! Playing with infinite possible W's while entertaining is not very fruitful if the one asking the Q is not there to render such a judgment- the factors involved are infinite like and very complicated as Evol T attests just for our little W!
