- W2160012762 abstract "If a professor teaches a unit on arguments for God's existence in an introductory course, I suspect it consists in the teleological, cosmological, and ontological arguments, but does not include the argument from Biblical authority. If that argument arises at all, I suspect it is because a student has asked, Doesn't the Bible prove there is a God? The tacit argument is: 1. Every statement in the Bible is true. 2. The Bible includes the statement, 3. Therefore, God exists. The argument is then shown to be question-begging because the defense of the Bible's authority presupposes God's existence, which is what the argument should prove. I deal with the argument differently for a few reasons. In the first place, not every attempt to defend the argument's first premise involves the presuppos ition of God's existence. For this reason some students are apt to be justifiably dissatisfied with assessing the argument quickly as merely question-begging. Secondly, identifying and assessing the ways in which the argument' s first premise has or could be defended enables one to teach a number of important points about adequate evidence and critical evaluation of argument. Those stu dents who are inclined to accept the argument from Biblical authority are probably ignorant of at least one canon of evidence (at least as far as the Bible is concemed). The students who reject the argument, at least in my experience, think that the only way to justify their belief is to show that not every statenlent in the Bible is true. They thus have something to leam, too, since the argument can be shown to be wanting without broaching the question of the truth of the argument's first premise. Thirdly, a student's potential embarrassment can be avoided if the professor treats the argument as a topic, rather than waiting for a student to ask, only to hear a quick rebuttal. However, the relevant canons of evidence and rationality should arise, at least in part, from the students themselves. Since they need perspective in order to do that, I do not mention the Bible at all until a different argument has been evaluated, to wit:" @default.
