Abstract
Does God exist? This is a question that philosophers have sought to answer for centuries. But consider the following: What is the value impact of God's existence? Would God's existence be good or bad? Should we want God to exist? These are questions that have only very recently garnered attention from philosophers. To date, they have mostly been tackled by comparing a world where God exists to another world as similar to it as possible but where God doesn't exist. Two main answers have emerged. Pro-theism is the view that God's existence would increase the value of the world. Anti-theism is the view that God's existence would decrease the value of the world.
