First, I take it as an opportunity to clarify and correct some of my previous claims.  Secondly, I present and analyze Monton’s view. And, finally, I discuss the similarities that Monton’s view holds with those of Murphy’s and Tracy’s and discuss how they all can be reduced to being part of the same family of ontological views which are, ultimately, implausible.   Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:37:43 +0100 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:37:43 +0100 https://fp.waik.stronazen.pl:443//4733-2015-1-04.html https://fp.waik.stronazen.pl:443//4673-18-1-spring-2013-06.html Seemingly, in an attempt to appease both the micro-physicists and the classical theists, Nancey Murphy and Thomas Tracy have each developed ac- counts of God which allow for Him to act, in an otherwise causally closed natural world, through various micro-processes at the subatomic level. I argue that not only do each of these views skew the accounts of both micro-physics and theism just enough to preclude the appeasement of either group but that both accounts can aptly be classified as, what I term, epistemic deism. I go on to argue that epis- temic deism is a weak brand of deism that ultimately provides us with little to no answers to any of serious questions discussed within the philosophy or religion.
