|

Cosmic pluralism, the plurality of worlds, or simply pluralism, describes the philosophical belief in numerous “worlds” in addition to Earth (possibly an infinite number), which may harbour extraterrestrial life.   (from Wikipedia article “Cosmic Pluralism“) In my criticism of Adamson’s initial argument for the existence of God, I pointed out that cosmic pluralism is an idea that … Adamson’s Cru[de] Arguments for God – Part 6
