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.
