Arguments for the Existence of a God

Revisiting Infinity

There are a variety of apologetic motivations for maintaining that God is a simple being. But Christian apologist Richard Swinburne has a unique take on and motivation for maintaining God's simplicity. Swinburne argues that because God has attributes of infinite magnitude, he is the epitome of simplicity, for infinite attributes in general are as simple as possible, whether pertaining to God or not. In this article Gabe Czobel aims to show that this claim is not only dubious, but leads to a contradiction.
