D4: Faith and Reason
D4: Faith and Reason
Pascal and James argue that there are cases in which it is appropriate to believe that God exists when the evidence is not sufficient (they of course have their own nuances). Clifford thinks this is entirely mistaken. What do you think? Are there things that you believe without sufficient evidence? There probably are and you probably are ok with that. If so, couldn’t believing that God exists be one of those things that is ok to believe without sufficient evidence? Explain your response.
