Since perfect love requires perfectly coopera- tians, the most likely audience is other Christian philoso- tive activity, and because such activity must be shared with phers, though anyone willing to seriously engage these a third equal, the Holy Spirit, too, necessarily exists.

Various theistic objections to this argument are refuted. Is God Good By Definition? Cavin makes three main contentions: 1 the prior probability of a supernatural resurrection of Jesus by God is so astronomically low that it has virtually no plausibility; 2 theorizing such a resurrection to explain the empty tomb and postmortem appearances of Jesus is ad hoc and devoid of nearly any explanatory power and scope; and 3 a far superior alternative theory can account for the empty tomb and postmortem appearances.

Conifer presents a pair of parallel evidential atheological arguments whose basic premise appeals to the empirical and conceptual implausibility of disembodied consciousness. He critically examines and refutes numerous objections to his two arguments. In The Evolution of the Soul Richard Swinburne makes a courageous attempt to defend Cartesian substance dualism—the thesis that the mind or soul is distinct from the body, yet interacts with it. At the very least, Nagasawa concludes, Swinburne has an obligation to explain why such interaction is inexplicable—and without invoking the existence of God.

This thesis examines various attempts to construe theism as an explanatory hypothesis and to defend it with arguments similar to those employed in the confirmation of scientific hypotheses.

It is the aim of this work to show that such a construal fails to confirm theism and in actuality leads to its disconfirmation. In Chapter Four of Science, Confirmation, and the Theistic Hypothesis , Keith Parsons defends the dictum that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence as part of a general critique of miracle claims which aims to defend naturalism as a rational operating philosophy against potential defeaters.

In this defense of miracle claims Don McIntosh argues, first, that for any unknown the burden of proof falls equally upon naturalists and supernaturalists; second, to repudiate all miracle claims in one fell swoop with a mere presumption of naturalism renders naturalism unfalsifiable and unscientific; and third, estimating the prior probability of miracles introduces an element of subjectivity that makes any general probabilistic argument against them suspect.

These points leave open the possibility of confirming specific miracle claims on the basis of historical evidence and eyewitness testimony. Richard Swinburne defends substance dualism—the idea that mind and body are two radically different things—throughout his various works, including The Coherence of Theism , Is There A God?

The Anthropic Coincidences, Evil and the Disconfirmation of Theism by Quentin Smith The anthropic principle or the associated anthropic coincidences have been used by philosophers such as John Leslie , William Lane Craig and Richard Swinburne to support the thesis that God exists.

An Atheological Argument from Evil Natural Laws by Quentin Smith Quentin Smith argues that the natural law that animals must savagely kill and devour each other in order to survive is an evil natural law and that the obtaining of this law is sufficient evidence that God does not exist. The Evidential Argument from Evil by Nicholas Tattersall Tattersall defends a version of the evidential argument from evil that is based upon the probable existence of gratuitous evil.
