Superior Beings: If They Exist, How Would We Know?

The central:question posed in this book is: If there existed a superior being who possessed the supernatural qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, immortality, and incomprehensibility, how would he/ she act differently from us?

The mathematical theory of games is used to define each of these qualities, and different assumptions about the rules of play in several theological games-that might be played between ordinary human beings and superior beings like God are posited.

Implications of these definitions and assumptions are developed and used to explore such questions as: Are God's superior powers compatible with human free will? Can they be reconciled with the problem of evil in the world? In what situation is God's existence "decidable" in gamelike relationships He might have with us?


By endowing omniscience/omnipotence/ immortality/incomprehensibility with unambiguous meanings, the author shows how game theory can help breathe life into questions that have been dismissed too quickly simply because they are meta-physical-outside the world of experience.

Thereby he clarifies the structure of our thought about an ultimate reality, whether or not it is viewed as religious.
