[Vision2020] The Last Part of Q2 For Wayne

[Art Deco]

Michael,

This is the question I hoped that you would answer:

Given the knowledge claim that an omnipotent, omnibenevolent being exists, what kinds of possible evidence, if any, could provide disconfirmation of this claim?

  Michael, Please answer the last part of [Q2]. W.

   

   

  Ok; give it a shot anyway:

  If a deductive argument was presented, and I thought the deductive argument was clearly valid-in priori fashion-and I believed the premises were as true as anything could possibly be true, then I would suspect that I would say the argument worked; I'd say that the argument demonstrates a contradiction in this case.  As for whether or not I would conclude that the Eternal God could not exist, that would be another matter, a point I noted about the nature of my 'total body of evidence.'  Of course, we haven't even gotten to the issue of the rationality of basic beliefs and epistemic defeaters.

   

  Thanks,

  Michael Metzler
