A Powerful Argument for God - Logic Pt. 2
from Theology for Teens Hosted by Nathan LaValley
Logical Form: 1. If God did not exist, objective moral values would not exist 2. Objective moral values do exist 3. Therefore God exists Summary of Defensibility: This argument seems very defensible. In fact, defeating it seems almost impossible. This doesn't get you to the God of Christianity but it does get you to God. 1. Premise one I would give 0.95 but that's being generous. 2. Premise two I would give 0.78 but again being generous. With the above numbers the conclusion is far more likely then not and should be believed Key Terms: Correspondence Theory: "The basic idea of the correspondence theory is that what we believe or say is true if it corresponds to the way things actually are – to the facts." [[@glanzbergTruth2006]] Coherence Theory: "A belief is true if and only if it is part of a coherent system of beliefs." [[@glanzbergTruth2006]]
