Refutation of Alvin Plantinga's evolutionary argument against naturalismVeritas48's / Alvin Plantinga's argument:1. If naturalism and evolution are true then the probability of our cognitive abilities tobe reliable is low.2. If the probability of our cognitive abilities to be reliable is low then the probabilityof any belief we arrived at using our cognitive abilities is low.3. People who believe that N&E are true have arrived at this belief using their cognitiveabilities.4. Therefore given N&E the probability of the belief in N&E being true is low.5. Therefore the idea that N&E are both true can be rejected.My counter argument:1. If N&E are both true and Plantinga is right then any believe that we arrived at usingour cognitive abilities can be rejected.2. Plantinga arrived at the believe that his premises are true using his cognitiveabilities.3. Therefore if N&E are both true and Plantinga is right then according to Plantinga thebelief in Plantinga's premises can be rejected.4. Therefore Plantinga's premises can only be considered as valid if we know that the beliefin N&E can be rejected.5. Therefore by presenting his premises as true beliefs Plantinga's premises areimplicitly presupposing that N&E can be rejected.6. That N&E can be rejected is what Plantinga is trying to prove.7. Therefore Plantinga's premises are presupposing that the conclusion is true.8. Therefore Plantinga's argument is circular and invalid.The problem with Christian epistemology:We need to know that God exists in order to be able to have knowledge.But unless we know that we are able to have knowledge we do not know if we are able toknow that God exists.Tags:Refutation Alvin Plantinga evolutionary argument against naturalism evolution atheism faith jesus god nihilism relativism agnostic atheist epistemology truth relative absolute bible circular

http://www.biased-bbc.blogspot.com/'The script reads as follows: Palestinian violence and terror against Israel is not to be condemned because it is the response to occupation and repression.BBC Radio host Owen Bennett-Jones objected when Israels ambassador to Great Britain pointed out that Hamas has been bombarding southern Israel with rockets on a daily basis."But your analysis is seen by people around the world to be completely wrong-headed. The idea that Hamas sort of came from nowhere and radicalized Palestinian society overlooks the fact that Israel occupied and repressed these people for over 40 years.In 2005, perhaps accepting Bennett-Joness interpretation of history, Israel pulled out of Gaza completely, uprooting all of the Jewish settlers, and leaving the area completely to the Palestinians to administer. Rather than build a society of their own, Hamas, which controls Gaza — the Palestinian Authority controls the West Bank — has used its independence to launch a ceaseless barrage of missiles against Israel. Its often pointed out that Hamas does not recognize Israels right to exist. Its more than that. Hamas, with Irans backing, is committed to Israels violent destruction. Missiles have fallen on schools and homes. Hamas is explicit about desiring Israeli counterattacks, because while Hamas aims to kill Israeli civilians, they know that Israel tries very hard not to kill Palestinian civilians. But every Palestinian death at the hands of Israel is seen as a propaganda victory for Hamas — which is why they place their munitions and terrorists in mosques, hospitals, and homes crowded with children.Hamas representative Fathi Hamad stated it explicitly: For the Palestinian people death became an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly (Palestinians) created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: We desire death as you desire life.'
