**Half Man Half Wit** , I have numerous objections to the “best of all possible worlds” which I believe is preposterous. However, before I go into these objections, I just want to be sure which version of the hypothesis you are suggesting. So, in your version, the best possible reality includes all human actions? So the holocaust, Dickens writing A Christmas Carol, me microwaving a meal just now…all these are part of the best possible world? They are not in any sense “external” to god’s plan?
