Testing a Hypothesis about the Supernatural
#93
RE: Testing a Hypothesis about the Supernatural
It turns out there's a book on the very subject of whether theism is a good explanation in terms of explanatory virtues: Theism and Explanation (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)

It happens to be a rather expensive little book. However, there is a podcast interview of the author for those of us in the cheap seats:

See Common Sense Atheism | Gregory Dawes – Theism and Explanation. (You can find less expensive copies of the text via https://www.bookfinder.com/)
