Modern Theology, EarlyView.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

However, abandoning this belief would be highly unattractive.
