The Existence of God - 2nd Revised Edition

Zusatztext ...if you want Swinburne's latest thoughts, and his response to some recent developments, here they are. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung Gives an analysis of the important arguments for theism: the cosmological argument; arguments from the existence of laws of nature and the 'fine-tuning' of the universe; from the occurrence of consciousness and moral awareness; and from miracles and religious experience. This book focuses on the nature of consciousness and the problem of evil.
