• What does theism explain better than naturalism (= empiricism = physicalism = materialism)?

    You know it’s true.

    Following on from the last post, in which I asked for summaries of the basic problems of naturalist views (hence the equals signs in the titles; I am aware that the terms cover many different sorts of philosophical views), I want to ask now:

    In what specific ways does theism, broadly conceived, provide a more coherent and reliable philosophical view than naturalism, broadly conceived?

    Really, I expect this question to be a gimme for theists. A slam dunk. I anticipate that the philosophically minded theists will be able to enumerate several critical issues where a theistic view provides a way more cogent and satisfying response than any of its atheist counterparts.

    So, have at it.
