Science and Religion: Problem of Other Minds (or Lack Thereof)
This paper is a response to the question of whether science discredits religion. It focuses on the debates between Ratzsch and Worrall in the 2004 Blackwell anthology, as well as the debate between Alvin Plantinga and Daniel Dennett, and the 2014 publicized debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye ("The Science Guy"). The paper focuses ultimately on the question of philosophical proof, and whether (as Plantinga argues) the philosophical stance of atheism is not far from the philosophical stance of solipsism.
