One theistic account of creation says that God created the best possible world in the form of a multiverse containing all and only all of the universes sufficiently good enough to create. Certain proponents of this view urge that it solves the problem of no best world and need not commit one to affirming divine middle knowledge. We address two recent challenges to the (open) theistic multiverse. First, Marshall Naylor argues that what he calls the Cantorian account of divine creation is better than any theistic multiverse account because it provides more satisfying answers to a number of philosophical problems (2020). Second, Elliot Crozat criticizes the open theistic multiverse by arguing that if God lacks middle knowledge, God cannot know infallibly that the universe token he creates will be the right type (i.e., sufficiently good enough for inclusion in the multiverse) (2019). We show that Naylor’s alternative violates incredibly strong moral intuitions and that Crozat’s objection fails to appreciate that on open theism God still knows all the possible future outcomes. Theistic multiverse accounts of divine creation in general, and one cojoined with open theism in particular, remain unscathed in the face of the criticisms offered by Naylor and Crozat.

一种对创造的有神论解释说，上帝以多元宇宙的形式创造了最好的世界，其中包含所有且只有所有足以创造的宇宙。这一观点的某些支持者主张，它解决了没有最好世界的问题，并且不需要人们致力于肯定神圣的中间知识。我们解决了（开放）有神论多元宇宙最近面临的两个挑战。首先，马歇尔·内勒认为，他所谓的康托人对神圣创造的解释比任何有神论的多元宇宙解释都要好，因为它为许多哲学问题提供了更令人满意的答案（2020）。其次，埃利奥特·克罗扎特（Elliot Crozat）批评开放有神论多元宇宙，认为如果上帝缺乏中间知识，上帝就无法无误地知道他创造的宇宙代币将是正确的类型（即足够好，足以包含在多元宇宙中）（2019）。我们表明，内勒的选择违反了令人难以置信的强烈道德直觉，而克罗扎特的反对意见没有意识到，根据开放有神论，上帝仍然知道所有可能的未来结果。面对内勒和克罗扎特提出的批评，有神论多元宇宙对神圣创造的描述，特别是与开放有神论相结合的描述，仍然毫发无伤。
