Exploring Natural Theology: Arguments and Perspectives

This chapter explores contemporary views on natural theology, centered around Charles Taliaferro's definitions and the contributions of thinkers like Richard Swinburne and Alvin Plantinga. The discussion includes various theistic arguments such as the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments, highlighting the abductive approach to understanding these concepts. Additionally, it critiques aspects of the arguments and incorporates a Catholic perspective, culminating in a reflection on moral implications tied to the existence of God, particularly through Paul Mosier's evolving stance.
