  • Contradictions
    • JL Mackie “the miracle of theism” – given the contradictions it is a miracle that people are religious!

    • Dawkins – the contradictions make belief in God unintelligible

    • Aquinas - the flaw lies in human language, we can know that God exists but we only can describe Him through analogy; we can know more about God through observation of the world and God-given human reason

    • Other scholars would argue that we think they conflict because human understanding of God is limited - epistemic distance
