#635 | “In the suffering is the affirmation that our worldview is true” -Jon Noyes How much suffering? What would non-suffering affirm? Is there a falsifiable formulation of this notion? Would not suffering affirm the veracity of any God that promised believers would suffer?
#415 | Doesn’t the combination of the survivorship bias and the misjudgment how easy it is to find a beautiful and satisfying life after tragedy lead naturally and irrationally to claims of an Awesome God? Can any promise of God be rendered falsifiable within this disposition?
#395 | Considering 1) what God did to Job and his family and 2) what is experienced by African Christians, do the promises of Jesus referring to God’s care for the lilies of the field and the sparrow have any real credibility? What, if anything, can Christians actually expect on the earth concerning their well-being?
#387 | Apologists thoughout history seized the unexplained, and inserted their God as the explanation. In contrast, apologists now cite the burgeoning naturalistic explanations as evidence of the amazing forethought of their God. Is there anything possible within this logical space that would count against God? Why does it appear that unfalsifiability is a major goal of Christian apologetics?
#243 | Is there any state of affairs that would demonstrate God does not answer prayer, or is every possible state of affairs consistent with the notion that God does answer prayers, states of affair also consistent with a universe with no God?
#174 | Is there any configuration of reality that couldn’t be attributed to any God by claiming that God’s ways are so inscrutable to humans with limited minds that those humans have no right to question whether our reality reflects a reality created by that particular God?
#088 | Is there any way to falsify intercessory prayer? Should there not be a way to sort out the potency of various alleged God? It is reasonable to believe in intercessory prayer when the logical space of outcomes is identical to what we would expect were there no God?
#035 | How do we discern which governments, tumors, politicians and diseases to excise from our lives and bodies? How can we be certain a ruthless government or disease is 1) punishment from God and needs to simply be endured, 2) a Jobian test, or 3) something we should battle against?
