Ep. 176 - Does Peer Disagreement Destroy Your Religious Knowledge? w/Dr. Matthew Benton
from Parker's Pensées · host Parker Settecase
If my peers are just as smart as me, and have the same evidence that I have, but come to a different conclusion than I do, then what do I do? Should I hold fast to my belief or should I withhold judgment? Whatever I decide about general cases of disagreement, should I also apply that to religious disagreement? Dr. Matthew Benton came on the podcast to school me on the epistemology of disagreement, the particular cases of religious disagreement, and we even get into the simulation hypothesis.
