This monograph critically assesses six arguments for the existence of the God of classical theism, develops an innovative account of objects' persistence, and defends novel arguments against classical theism. This book critically assesses the following theistic proofs: Aquinas's First Way and Feser's Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic, Augustinian, Thomistic, and Rationalist proofs. Many of these arguments have received little scholarly attention and the authors aim to redress this neglect. In particular, they bring to light novel and underappreciated problems for each of the proofs. In doing so, they shed new light on the ultimate explanation of the existence of composition, change, and contingency.The authors provide the first systematic treatment of the 'existential inertia thesis'. By connecting the thesis to relativity theory and recent developments in the philosophy of physics, and by developing a variety of novel existential-inertia-friendly explanations of persistence, they mount a formidable new case against classical theistic proofs. Finally, they defend new arguments against classical theism based on abstract objects and differences across possible creations. In doing so, this text appeals to students and researchers and those interested in an invigorated and innovative inquiry into classical theistic proofs, the existence of God, and the ultimate explanation of persistence.
