Module 5 Discussion & Replies

Module 5's discussion questions will focus primarily upon the content of the assigned textbook readings (from both our RRB and POR texts) for this module. See the Course Schedule, or the Module 5 Assignment list, for the specific RRB chapters and POR selections in question.

Discussion Instructions:

1. Respond to EACH of the three Module 5 discussion questions presented below (questions A, B & C). Do so using separate posts for each question; do NOT respond to multiple questions within the same single post.

2. Continue to participate by submitting additional followup posts in response to each question. Before the module ends, be sure to provide at least TWO substantive responses to EACH of the following discussion questions:

Question A: How plausible is Richard Dawkins' view that science discredits religion? Does Dembski offer a coherent response?

Question B: What is the problem of religious exclusivism, according to Paul Griffiths? Why does he think that it is necessary to acknowledge the value of religious exclusivism?

Question C: Does MacIntyre's view that we must have a knowledge of the just independently of our knowledge of God entail that we are making God a finite being? Why or why not?
