Faith and the Existence of God
Arguments move from premises to conclusions. The premises state things taken temporally for granted; if the argument works, the premises provide grounds for affirming the conclusion. A valid deductive argument is one in which the premises necessitate, that is, entail, the conclusion. (It would involve a self-contradiction to assert the premises but deny the conclusion.) What I shall call a ‘correct’ inductive argument is one in which the premises…

The Argument from Design—a Defence
Mr Olding's recent attack on my exposition of the argument from design gives me an opportunity to defend the central theses of my original article. My article pointed out that there were arguments from design of two types—those which take as their premisses regularities of copresence (spatial order) and those which take as their premisses regularities of succession (temporal order). I sought to defend an argument of the second type. One merit of …

The Probability of Particular Events
The paper investigates what are the proper procedures for calculating the probability on certain evidence of a particular object e having a property, Q , e.g. of Eclipse winning the Derby. Let ‘α‘ denote the conjunction of properties known to be possessed by e , and P ( Q/α ) the probability of an object which is α being Q. One view is that the probability of e being Q is given by the best confirmed value of P ( Q /α). This view is shown not to b…
Choosing Between Confirmation Theories
The paper considers on what grounds we ought to choose between competing confirmation theories. It begins by distinguishing between confirmation theories and other theories which might be confused with them, such as theories of acceptability. It then argues that the task of a confirmation theory is to analyze rather than explicate our ordinary standards of confirmation, to “draw out” from our intuitive judgments the standards implicit in them. A …

The Christian Wager
On what grounds will the rational man become a Christian? It is often assumed by many, especially non-Christians, that he will become a Christian if and only if he judges that the evidence available to him shows that it is more likely than not that the Christian theological system is true, that, in mathematical terms, on the evidence available to him, the probability of its truth is greater than half. It is the purpose of this paper to investigat…

Cosmological Horizons
Horizons are frontiers between things observable and things unobservable. Even if such horizons exist we may extrapolate from observable to non-observable regions of the universe by (a) using the laws of physics which tell us how a presently observable galaxy will evolve even when we can no longer observe it, and (b) using the cosmological principle, which tells us that the physical situation beyond the horizon is by and large the same as the phy…
