Discussion Questions
(Write out brief answers to this week's discussion questions and submit them via a direct message to me on Slack no later than 11:59pm on Sunday, December 12th. Your answers should be brief, no more than a few sentences each. Be prepared to discuss them in class.)
1. Briefly explain Roger White's argument for believing in the existence of a god.
2. Briefly explain David Lewis's argument that God either doesn't exist or is supremely evil.
3. If Roger White's argument for a god's existence is a good argument, then what kind of god does it establish the existence of? If Lewis's argument is good, then what kind of god does it establish the nonexistence of? Could both authors' conclusions be right at the same time?
