At around 1:50, Plantinga says that to be worthy of worship, a being would have to be "unsurpassable" -- i.e., any being which is even the tiniest bit short of maximally great is unworthy of worship. This claim is often repeated, but virtually always without any argument or even reference to an argument. Presumably arguments for the claim exist, however. Can anyone tell me what the arguments are, or where they're found? Thanks.
@nocomment1111 We can look at the universe and see that some beings are "superior" to others, a human is far superior to an animal of lesser capability, this may not be objective tho it can be argued to be objective. Because there are superior beings and inferior ones then what ever being that is the most superior is the one which to worship. What kind of being would be most superior, this is a being perfectly defined in the Bible but you have to be willing to read the entire Bible to find Him
I <3 your video uploads. I constantly come across people who think they have smashing objections and I can link these videos in answer. It's amazing how often people keep falling for the same problems that have been answered over and over! Sometimes I even get to do it in person and the look on their faces is priceless!
