The first task is to examine evidence from natural religion, that is, from science and human observation. The inductive evidence indicates overwhelming probability intelligent beings caused the Universe and life to exist. Rational beings should hold the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and if they do, traditional deductive arguments for God's existence seem compelling. There is a possibility given the evil in the world that the intelligent causes are benevolently disposed to human beings. There is definitive evidence human souls can separate from their bodies while perceiving and understanding surrounding events. Also the \u003ci\u003econsensus gentium\u003c\/i\u003e evidence provides some confirmation for theism. So the evidence from natural theology shows a rational person should believe the first causes are intelligent, powerful, and perhaps benevolent, but tell us little more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037898932567,"sku":"9780761874409","price":62.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761874409.jpg?v=1750938087","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rational-belief-in-god-and-the-soul-9780761874409","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
