RH:44 God of the Gaps? Reasoned Hope
-
- Cristianismo
A common critique of arguments for God's existence is they are based on a "God of the gaps" fallacy. In essence, this says that such arguments are fundamentally based on ignorance. They use God as an explanation to fill a gap in knowledge. When this is done, skeptics argue, belief in God is shown to be based upon ignorance instead of knowledge.
But is this true? In this episode, I aim to show why the God of the gaps objection fails as a critique of arguments for God.
