Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
What are some philosophical or theological problems with Deism (and/or how would one demonstrate it is in error?)? I realize that it is a bit of a broad question, since different kinds of Deism exist, but just the general sort of Deism that exalts reason to combine religion and science with a god that is not involved in the world but started the Big Bang and left the universe to evolution and laws of nature (I hope this question is answerable; I might not be able to descend into further specifics than that, given my state of knowledge). Also, what would you say to a person who held to it (in hoping to persuade the person otherwise, perhaps by giving them something to think about)?
