Does a world created by God have more bestowed worth?

MLMorgan LuckCharles Sturt University

Key Points

  • The paper explores whether a world created by God has inherently more value than one that is not.
  • Analysis of Ballard's pro-theistic argument
  • Comparative evaluation of bestowed worth in theistic and non-theistic contexts
  • Philosophical examination of moral implications and value judgments
  • Proposes that a non-God-created world could have equal or even greater bestowed worth.
  • Challenges the assumption that divine creation necessarily enhances value.

Abstract

Abstract This paper examines Ballard’s narrow pro-theistic argument for the claim that a world created by God would possess more bestowed worth than a world not created by God. I argue that not only could the world have just as much bestowed worth were it not created by God, but it could possibly have more.
