ABSTRACT
The question of God's existence seems not to go away, even for highly educated atheists. In addition, the question of God's existence seems not be conclusively settled, either pro or con, by sound deductive or inductive arguments for any sizeable group free of prior commitments on the question. Let's call "argumentism about God" the view that one's knowledge of God's existence depends on having some argument or other for God's existence. An argument, however compelling, could interfere with such an aim by directing human attention away from God Himself. Argumentism suggests that we must rely on arguments to reason the way to secure knowledge of God's reality. We could formulate various arguments for God's reality, and many such arguments attract the attention of philosophers. Without a basis in God's interventions in human experience, however, the arguments will be wobbly at best in failing to present a resilient basis to suitably critical inquirers.
