Am I a Deist? Cosmological Argument seems reasonable to me.

RE: Am I a Deist? Cosmological Argument seems reasonable to me.
Quote:Naive reasoners might be said to have a "makes-sense epistemology." Of course this does not mean that they have an explicit philosophy about what grounds are necessary for belief. But it does mean something in terms of the manifested behavior: such reasoners act as though the test of truth is that a proposition makes intuitive sense, sounds right, rings true. They see no need to criticize accounts that do make sense - the intuitive feel of fit suffices.
