A Free-Will Theodicy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Evil and Many Worlds is a free-will theodicy based upon Huw Everett III's 1957 many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. The theodicy argues for a balance of good and evil across an emergent multiverse where free will-a greater good valued by both persons and God- flourishes.
