In his writings, Swinburne has defended the existence of God as well as substance dualism which holds that there exists an immaterial soul or mind for each individual human being. In his book ''Is There a God?'', Swinburne gives a form of the Teleological (Design) Argument for God's existence. He is also an '''open theist''', meaning that he believes that God is inside time and does not know the future with certainty.
