An Agnostic Defends God: How Science and Philosophy Support Agnosticism

Autor Bryan Frances
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mai 2022
This book contains a unique perspective: that of a scientifically and philosophically educated agnostic who thinks there is impressive—if maddeningly hidden—evidence for the existence of God. Science and philosophy may have revealed the poverty of the familiar sources of evidence, but they generate their own partial defense of theism.
Bryan Frances, a philosopher with a graduate degree in physics, judges the standard evidence for God’s existence to be awful. And yet, like many others with similar scientific and philosophical backgrounds, he argues that the usual reasons for atheism, such as the existence of suffering and success of science, are weak.
In this book you will learn why so many people with scientific and philosophical credentials are agnostics (rather than atheists) despite judging all the usual evidence for theism to be fatally flawed.

Caracteristici

Defends agnosticism in an accessible yet sophisticated way Explains why many people with scientific and philosophical backgrounds are agnostics Argues that whilst atheism tends to be the natural alternative to religious belief, much of the research in science and philosophy urges us strongly toward agnosticism rather than the absolute claims of theism on the one hand and atheism on the other
