Philosophy of Religion: Rationality, Science, and the God Hypothesis

Description

Can I survive my death or is belief in an afterlife a trick of evolution? Are you a non-physical soul? Is science compatible with religion? What is 'faith' and what is 'reason', and who decides? Is there one and only one true religion? Do human beings need a 'God's eye view’ to know what is morally right? Is human or animal suffering evidence that God doesn’t exist? Does life imply a designer? This course presupposes no prior knowledge of the philosophy of religion; it is aimed at students from a wide range of backgrounds, as well as philosophy majors.
