Talk:Molinism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It might be noteworthy to add the "Grounding Objection" to the list of criticisms of the Molinist Position. Full details with Molinist response are avaliable in Divine Providence: The Molinist Account by Thomas Flint. See also William Lane Craig's article: http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/docs/grounding.html

I added the “Grounding Objection” and got rid of the “halting objection”. The halting theory makes no sense in regards to a God who has exhaustive infinite knowledge and is also timeless according to most theories. The “Grounding Objection” is directly geared towards Molinism. I also added William Lane Craig’s response to the “Grounding Objection”.

[edit] I have made this easier to read.

This was readable if you already know what is being discussed. I reduced the amount of parentheses, and made the synax more staightforward. The content was not changed let me know what you think. Revert it if you think that the change was not helpful. Usually, I discuss before changing, but it does not look life there is a lot of discussion here.

[edit] Criticism

I expanded the criticism section to more fully reflect arguments against Molinism. I'm not sure that either the response to criticism or the reponse to response belong there, but rather than take the former out, I added the latter.
