The distribution of possible states for the two propositions is 50/50 with respect to their own and each others existence. Even within the distribution of states in which moral realism is true..it's still 50/50 on the issue of god. Parsimony tells us not to multiply entities beyond necessity. It tells us that there is no need to refer to a god in the case of moral realism being true, but it tells us nothing about the probability of there being a god -from- moral realism being true. Put simply, moral realism doesn't have anything to do with god at all.Quote:Moving along, moral realism not only lacks any divine contingency..the likelihood of moral realism being true is completely unaffected by the existence of a god. It's not more or less likely that moral realism is true in the case of an existent god or a nonexistent one.
Not true at all. As explained in my argument it's more likely to be true without a God simply because of the principle of parsimony. It's more likely to be true because of a basic law of probability. Like I said to Rob what's more likely something as absurd as an invisible unicorn exists or the absurdity of both an invisible unicorn AND a flying spaghetti monster exists?
Ask yourself this..if moral realism being true lacks the required relationship with the divine in order to demonstrate or suggest the likelihood of the divine in the positive..why would you imagine it had the same ability in the reverse?
