Problems with analogy

    Cards (5)

    • presupposes existence of God. Less convincing without this presumption.
    • Only of use to believers
    • Analogy has to have some shared understanding, some basis for comparison. This is not possible when speaking about God. He is beyond human understanding.
    • Analogy lacks clear understanding of God
    • Analogy of proportionality is only meaningful if both terms are known. We do not know God and so analogy of proportionality is pointless.
