The Open Future Argument - Dr. Alan Rhoda

Handout: drive.google.com/file/d/1CK4K...
I present and defend my recently published “open future argument” (Open Theism, Cambridge Elements, 2024). The upshot of the argument is that if there is future contingency in creation, then thoroughgoing open futurism is true, and thus there is nothing in reality that picks out a unique actual future. If the argument is sound, then major consequences for theology and metaphysics follow (e.g., there is no temporally linear block universe; there is no “thin red line” or complete, true story of the future; and, if God exists, then the future is open-ended from God’s perspective.)
