Forms of Religious Thought - Professor Keith Ward

Is a belief in God a natural outcome of logical and cohesive approach to our experience of the world?

The lecture will argue that there is a logical pattern to the different forms of religion in the world, and will set out the main differences and convergences between them in a systematic way. It will be argued that the idea of ‘God’ integrates various types of interpreted experiences in a coherent and comprehensive way.

GreshamCollege *"Is a belief in God a natural outcome of logical and cohesive approach to our experience of the world?"*
No. A belief in the god of the bible is clearly an irrational and *illogical* delusion.
Our sentience, _and_ the moralities that some of us can actually come to agree upon, are both products of humanity's evolution. And omniscient creator gods, such as the god of the bible, are self-refuting logical fallacies.
