ABSTRACT
The applicability of mathematics to the physical world is one of the central questions in the philosophy of mathematics. It's therefore surprising how blase our non-theistic respondents are about the question. Stenger is the key respondent here, since Drange and Rountree obviously have no profound understanding of cosmology. Stenger's objections to the fine-tuning argument have been the subject of devastating criticisms by astrophysicist Luke Barnes and philosopher Robin Collins. Ruse is the key respondent in debates on the moral argument that have cited in support of the premise that if God did not exist, objective moral values and duties would not exist. Ruse misrepresents N. T. Wright's work when he says that Wright compares Jesus's resurrection to the death of Augustus. Theism provides a better explanatory context for intentional states of consciousness. Rosenberg's main justification for his atheism is naturalism. Rosenberg gestured toward the problem of evil as a defeater of theistic belief.
