 If one sides with Plantinga and Merricks, one can drive a wedge between truth and obtaining. We are not compelled to hold that there is a state of affairs Superman’s non-existing because we have no reason to say that such a state of affairs obtains or even possibly obtains, while we have a reason to say that it is true that Superman does not exist. Hence, the (singular) proposition that Superman does not exist can be true without the state of affairs Superman’s non-existing obtaining. Obtaining is indeed only truth-like.
