Plantinga and Dennett
After reading Plantinga and Dennett, in addition to listening to the debate between Dennett and Ward, provide a 5-paragraph analysis of the debates.
Is the proposition “God guided and orchestrated the course of evolution to produce the kind of creatures he wanted” refutable? If yes, on what basis? If no, does this make religious belief any more or less rational?
Are Dennett’s naturalistic claims sufficient reason to believe we are just matter (no soul or logically possible separate self)?
Include in your analysis appropriate justifications or reasons for your opinion. Include citations from the readings.
