Alvin Carl Plantinga, born November 15, 1932 (age 93), in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a current professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana. He is known for his lectures in the debate over divine sovereignty and providence, as well as works on the existence of God, including a version of the Ontological argument based on possible-worlds modality. He is a Christian, and has rebutted many of the arguments of Richard Dawkins.
Plantinga is also credited, along with Wolterstorff (1976) for first articulating the argument that belief in God can be defended as properly basic.
