Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Existence of God

Richard Swinburne presents a substantially rewritten and updated edition of his most celebrated book. No other work has made a more powerful case for the probability of the existence of God. Swinburne argues compellingly that the existence of the universe, its law-governed nature and fine-tuning, human consciousness and moral awareness, and evidence of miracles and religious experience, all taken together (and despite the occurrence of pain and suffering), make it likely that there is a God.

Appraise Based On Books The Existence of God

A complex book looking at the issue of proofs of God's existence very thoroughly. The author rightly rejects a priori deductive proofs of God's existence and non existence as necessarily flawed, and thus the ontological proofs, the 5 ways etc. are all out as pure deductive proofs. But the opening chapters look at the issue of inductive argument, probabilities and the evident truth that the simplest explanation is usually the best in scientific explanation as well as in personal explanation (a

This is the best defense of theism I've read. I'm not converted, but Swinburne is certainly more compelling than, say, William Lane Craig.

Richard G. Swinburne is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford. Over the last 50 years Swinburne has been a very influential proponent of natural theology, that is, philosophical arguments for the existence of God. His philosophical contributions are primarily in philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. He aroused much discussion with his early work in theTheism - the thesis that there is such a person as God, and this person is the creator of the universeWhat kind of person is god? disembodied, infinitely good, all-powerful*, all-knowing***all-powerful but subject to the rules of logic ; god cannot do logically absurd things; for instance, cannot make 1 + 1 equal anything other than 2. On Swinburne's account, the whole platonic paraphernalia of abstract objects then stands mysteriously apart from god; god can explain the origins of

الكتاب صعب لكن كلما تقدمت في القراءة كلما سهل هضم ما به.. هذا الكتاب بالطبع ليس للكل يحتاج من القارئ أن يكون على دراية بمناهج المنطق وقوانين الطبيعة المختلفة... الفصول الأولى صعبة بشكل كبير هو بيحط فيها طريقته في الوصول للنتيجة بيشرح المنهج الاستنتاجي والاستقراءي وامتة نستخدم دا وامتة نستخدم دا للوصول للنتايج وضح نوعيات النتايج (جزئية أو كلية) كذلك الحقائقاستطاع منطقيا توضيح ضرورة وجود الله من خلال الطبيعة (الكون المادي بمكوناته وتفاعلات تلك المكونات مع بعض) ناقش تكوين الانسان (كروح ونفس وجسد)

I removed one star due dense, laborious paragraphs, also Professor Swinburne has problems getting to the point of an issue. But, the existence of god is a rich and rewarding book for those interested in philosophy of religion.

Swinburne's classic attempt to apply Bayes' Theorem to the hypothesis 'God exists' is a masterful example of inductive argument. If the hypothesis succeeds in offering a simpler, more powerful, comprehensive explanation that has the best fit with our background knowledge, then this book provides a powerful argument for the existence of God. Swinburne argues that if his theory of explanation is workable, then there a good cumulative case can be made for theism by invoking variously reworked

The book dissects the subject very well, didnt find what I have searched for though! Multiple ambigues conclusions without good algorithm.The idea of simplicity promoting theism seems very odd. For imagine a person capable of doing all this stuff, how complex should he be? The explanation is more complex than the explained!
