PHIL 171: The Philosophy of Religion
James Harrington

In this course we will examine one of the fundamental questions of human existence: should, or could, a reasonable person believe in the existence of a divine being, e.g. the Christian God?

Topics covered will include:

• Can we prove beyond doubt that God exists?
• Does the existence of suffering provide a definitive reason to believe that God does not exist?
• Can a reasonable person believe in the existence of God even in the absence of direct evidence or definitive proof of his existence?
• Should a reasonable person want God to exist?
