Dear Apolonio, Thanks for the clarification about the book's subject matter. Given my difficulty with the extract, I think I need an introduction! I'm...
Hello. 1. Sober responds to Leslie's famous firing-squad analogy in his piece in Manson's GOD AND DESIGN. Sober is obviously mistaken, but what is the correct...
While I have become reasonably familiar with Plantinga's epistemological program, I am not very clear on Wolterstorff's. I used to understand him in terms of a...
Hello all, I received Everitt's NON-EXISTENCE OF GOD. I asked about this book here some time ago; but nobody had anything to say. I've only read the bits on...
Hello, I reckon I understand Swinburne's arguments well enough to anticipate the responses to Everitt's objections. But I'm having two troubles, one general...
Hello, I've completed Everitt's chapter on reformed epistemology. I'll try to summarise his arguments. I'm writing this quickly and sloppily; but I hope I...
... in ... Ok. I am wondering what you (or he) is meaning by the term "grounds." On my understanding of Plantinga it is not the experience, itself, that...
Ty, I'm pressed on time but since no one else is responding to your posts, I'll say a few words. ... Well, I'd need to see this argument developed in a litte...

Ty, I am basing the following solely on your review, I've have not read Everitt's book. I'm assuming for the sake of this discussion that your summary of...
Erdman31, ... I haven't read Everitt either, but as suggested in my prior post, the whole argument - as thus far laid out - smells like internalism and...

How strong are the objections to Plantinga's Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism (EEAN)? I've come across Fitelson & Sober's paper [1], and in the...
Dear Ty, I also very much like Robin Le Poidevin's book Arguing for Atheism. It looks like when Howard-Sobel completes a revision of his book Logic and Theism,...
Chuck, It's an interesting argument from Fides Quaerens Intellectum: The basic argument is that if evolutionary naturalism is true, then our cognitive...
Chuck, It's my opinion that Plantinga's EAAN is alive and well, though I believe it's better construed as an argument against materialism, rather than an...
"An interesting comment made on the site was that Plantinga was not trying toprove theism so much as defeat evolutionary naturalism. I think this is a good...

Hi Joshia, Would you cite some works which defend, elaborate or otherwise explain a non-materialist form of naturalism? I am currently reading Michael Rea's...
I hope this question is not too elementary...... My question is regarding the scriptures, and if my skepticism toward them is justified. Since we dont have...
well, i suppose one would be asking a bit much from the physical heredity of the NT to go from accepting current physical manuscripts of NT to belief in what ...
Your concern is understandable. It has been my experience that very few people are willing to take the time that is necessary to make an informed decision on...
My primary interest and focus of study at this point is hermeneutical and exegetical. Combine this with my intrigue with Plantinga and Reformed Epistemology...
Hi... I am new here and even newer to philosophy... But I am doing a study on the ontological arguement and stumbled some rumours about the fact that Kurt...
Dear Rubatirabbit, Kurt Godel did formulate a verison of the ontological argument. I think that you'll find it, along with some criticism, in Sobel's LOGIC AND...

Also, W. G. T. Shedd deals significantly with the ontological argument in "Dogmatic Theology." I confess I have not gotten to the material yet becuase I just...
Since we're allowed to post a bit off topic in the hopes of spurring more discussion, I thought I'd pass along some sections I recently read in Jacob Arminius...
