Document Summary
Bold notes - are the notes from the powerpoint. Highlighted terms - are key terms to know. Notes with - in front are my notes beyond what is on the screen. No way you have good reason that god exists: goal: rule out religious knowledge, but not knowledge of other beliefs. Refute religious knowledge because you can"t know god exists: method: placing conditions on knowledge that religious beliefs cannot meet. No one know a god, can say no one knows anything. Reasons why christians can"t say god exists: examples, knowledge must be scientific (repeatable, testable) Ex. praying for parking: knowledge must be empirical (based on the five senses) Without any background in biblical stories one can seem crazy. Difficult to justify beliefs: knowledge must be public (in principle, accessible to all) Check knowledge against each other is there a desk here? . Religion doesn"t seem accessible to all, revealed to abraham but not to joseph.
