ABSTRACT

In this chapter Craig responds to the points made by the five philosophers who responded to the debate in chapters 11 through 15. Craig notes that a theory which provides an explanation or grounding of ethical principles is superior to one which adopts what has been called a shopping list approach whereby one simply helps oneself to the principles one needs. He also argues that his explanatory ultimate, God, is more satisfying and plausible than Wielenberg's explanatory ultimate, that is, his abstract objects.
