    This is complete nonsense argument. Our faculties are not entirely reliable, but collectively, they become increasingly and significantly more reliable. Also, aren't we using the exact same faculties to presume the existence of gods? Which is exactly how deities developed across many human cultures. Even Christian divine communication has to be delievered to and received by our individual and collective faculties. Simply put, I can be more sure of the existence of my hand (e.g. I can show it to others, I can touch others, others can tell me it exists) than I am of any gods because recognition of my hands is a lot more fundamental than my ability to discern the existence of gods.

    I have a hard time understanding how the argument manages to escape complete skepticism, since the argument itself is produced by our natural cognitive faculties. It surely and legitimately reminds us that we are faillible, but given the fact that humans seems to be able to adopt plausible beliefs which are totally unadaptative, doesn't seem weird to then reject naturalism and adopt a theistic worldview on the basis of pure faith?

    The crimes of apartheid, the murders, the maiming and cruelty towards the Black people of South Africa by the white classes that created trauma to setting aside the Native Africans. A young Black girl stole a purse from an English imagrant daughter of a newly imagrant family, The police illegally bound the young girls left arm with cageing wire until it tore through her flesh. The English couple were horrified at this treatment of the young Black teenager without any legal charge or trial. The Husband and Father of the two white woman tried to have the criminal charges dropped, but the white police refused and took the young girl away. Meanwhile he contacted his boss who required his expertise on oil cracker in Johannesburg to try and get the poor girl released and treated for her greivous injury. the whole family left South Africa within the year, they moved to Scotland where I heard the whole story from them, But at the time I managed to land a job with an MoD company, despite a personal life-long Paraplegic illness I walked on two leg braces in a workshop where my work was seen as satisfactory. However there was an English man working there who hated me because I counted a young Black girl a good friend amongst many as I was older then, The English man also hated this young Black girl as she was tiny, and had nobody to protect her. my friends and I took on the job of protecting her, he was afraid of me and after a fight in the carpark of the factory unit I had a steel bar up my sleave and was using it to protect myself, A third party of higher rank stepped in and threw down the bully. both the bully and I were taken into the office and I was let go, but the bully said that he was quitting this job anyway, to move to South Africa. A man who hated cripples and Black people so much aught never to be given a visa to enter South Africa, than. Thank God that Apartied was brought to a justified end a mere number of months later. I felt sorry for that little Scots African girl, more so the black girl who was disfigured for life by the brutality of the SA police, who had no right to publicly torture her no matter what she did. I have never had anything but respect for the Black people in Scotland, but even I have noticed the wary looks that they are prone to give the whites around them. It is a disgrace the my fellow Scots can be seen to be prejudiced even in this day and age while the English nationalists are prejudiced against both Africans, Asians and the physically afflicted like me. for instance I fall a lot and often cannot get back up, but only on a few occasions do I lack for support Thanks Be to God, I have been helped by every race, color and creed. in this I am blessed.❤🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    SUCH AN INSPIRATION to take active part in (1) the healing of both my own conscious and unconscious personal traumas and (2) the traumas that still affect South African interpersonal interactions, politics and perceived future prosperity and propagation of our country. Hopefully more people will become aware of the importance of the very necessary *Reparative Quest* our country needs to embark on. It started with the TRC, now we need something else. We have dealt with the immediate acknowledgement of traumas, but I feel we are struggling with consolidating those traumas and allowing ourselves to move forward while not forgetting the impact of the those traumas and need to consistently repair the wounded fabric of the South African tapestry.

      And it would stil be advantageous that we continue to uncover true things and abandon false things - and we do this continuously for example through technologies (alloys, medicine, etc.). It used to be that plague doctors prevented some infections by using their masks (advantageous), but once we discovered the germ theory of disease (true things uncovered), we didn't have to revert to plague doctor masks and have gained more tools for survival and reproduction (increased advantages). Bring this back to religious beliefs - just because they provide advantages, doesn't mean they are true and that we cannot come up with better tools to replace religious beliefs. Consider the developments in secular therapy, replacing religious therapy.

    The 50/50 argument is very fallacious. Every single moment of my conscious day is full of successful mental activity, every step, every blink, every judgement. To say this success is based on adaptive behavior and not thinking about reality and its consequences cannot imply that I am successful via dumb luck (50/50). That my (evolutionarily generated) brain doesn't fully cope with truth is irrelevant. My brain can't deal with the problem that the sun will go supernova in 100,000,000 years. My brain can cope with the mess of physics, chemistry, biology and sociology that is reality.

  • @camdenbarkley1893
    @camdenbarkley1893 3 місяці тому

    I am a naturalistic evolutionist, and I agree with Plantinga that evolution’s only “goal” is to produce behaviors fitted for survival. But I think having a more accurate view of reality than your competition is absolutely advantageous for survival. Plantinga seems to be claiming that it’s not. If you take two animals of the same species, both having behaviors that help them survive, but one has a slightly more accurate belief about the world, that one is definitely going to do better when circumstances require them to improvise or go “off script” from the learned behavior. The more granular your understanding of a system, the better you can troubleshoot when things go wrong. Plantinga’s point, though, is a good one! That’s why the scientific method is so important: we must test our beliefs. Reason without testing has lead us to strange places. Spicy section: this is a bit of a cheap shot on my part, but from where I’m sitting it really looks like religion emerged from exactly what Plantinga points out: false beliefs that produce behaviors that assist in survival. Also, this very argument seems to imply that Plantinga sees human reason as spiritually inspired, or something like that. I think the naturalistic perspective encourages a much more humble and, therefore, flexible mind.

      Indeed, if you are a naturalistic evolutionist, the most likely explanation for religious believe having survived for so long and evolved is that they are false beliefs that produce behaviors that assist in survival. Moreover, religious believe has been so widely held. Therefore, from a naturalistic evolutionist perspective, religious believes is the most outstanding evidence that holding false believes can be "absolutely advantageous for survival".

Just because false beliefs CAN be advantageous, doesn’t mean true belief CANNOT be advantageous nor that true beliefs will not outweigh false beliefs. Also, the type of belief that a person could be wrong about has to be addressed. Whether or not a glass you’re about to pick up actually exists and whether an invisible magician exists are two vastly different likelihoods of being true or false. So, which do you think would be more advantageous to survival, true or false beliefs. If EVERY belief you had was false, how long do you think you’d survive vs. if EVERY belief you held was true?

    While this is a fascinating argument, I think it is somewhat blinsided by its own premises. If, as the argument states, the truth of naturalism and evolution entails that our cognitive faculties have low reliability, then shouldn't that make this argument itself unreliable? After all, if my cognitive faculty of reasoning is not a reliable indicator of truth, then why is this argument against naturalism reliable either? Rather, to accept this argument as valid, we would need to presuppose theism. In other words, this argument cannot work with the presupposition of naturalism (assuming evolution to be true, as done in argument). It needs theism to even work as a reliable argument. Conclusion: It's not naturalism that is self-defeating in light of the truth of evolution, it's this argument itself.

    He’s the main reason I got into Christian Philosophy and of why I left it for Cultural Naturalism. Forever grateful. And I still respect him. Of course, when I read his lovely trilogy on warrant - including of course Warranted Christian Belief - I didn’t realize how much (and how brilliantly) he was adopting and adapting moves made before him by the likes of Quine. He was doing with Christianity what Quine was trying with naturalism. I believe he succeeded more than Quine. I believe Plantinga’s bravado, the confidence with which he spoke of things like the importance of Christian intellectual autonomy - say in his Advice To Christian Philosophers - did more to accomplish this Christian revolution in philosophy more than the arguments themselves. Unfortunately, Plantinga’s revolution in philosophy did not prevent the great dechurching or the disturbing waves of “deconstructions” on UA-cam. I say unfortunately of course not because I still agree with religious thought in the least. But the question of the relationship between the creation and transmission of ideas and large-scale social change is fascinating. And Plantinga is to me an instructive case. I suppose if we haven’t yet destroyed the planet we’ll have to check in another 100 years to see if his revolution will have some effects outside of professional philosophy. Meanwhile, those of us who are naturalists with humane, social, democratic commitments have lots of people coming out of religious belief. What to do?
