They're, they're sort of a foundational kind of value, so that if you're just thinking about what goods is God likely to bring about, well, if all moral value itself requires people to be in existence, then I think you can expect that to, to obtain.

And then your, your second point was, okay, well, what, what about skeptical theism? I agree with you about the vast majority of skeptical theistic arguments are inconsistent with natural theology and with the fine-tuning argument, which if, uh, viewers are interested in thinking about that more, they can take a look at the paper, Skeptical Theism Undermines the Fine-Tuning Argument Mostly, written by me.

And so I, I agree with you entirely that the, the two, the two research programs are inconsistent with one another, but that's why I'm not a skeptical theist.
