Yet this does not generate an unsolvable Problem of Evil. We could exist inside an infinite mind that was one among endlessly many, perhaps all created by Platonic Necessity. "God" might be our name for this Necessity, or for the infinite mind inside which we existed, or for an infinite ocean of infinite minds. |
