Biography

Everitt obtained his degree in Moral Science from University of Cambridge and a postgraduate degree from University of Oxford.[1] He was Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and taught briefly at Fairfield University and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.[1] He taught for the Open University as an Associate Lecturer and after retirement currently teaches the AA308 course, "Thought and Experience – Themes in the Philosophy of Mind" and "The Existence of God" for the Department of Continuing Education at Lancaster University.[1]

Everitt is an atheist and his best known work is The Non-Existence of God, published by Routledge in 2003.[2][3][4] Everitt argues that the divine attributes of God (omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence) in traditional theism are individually self-contradictory or cannot be co-instantiated.[5][6][7] The book contains criticisms of all the standard theistic arguments (cosmological, ontological, moral, teleological).[3] It was positively reviewed in academic journals.[3][5]
