"GOD AS A HYPOTHESIS"
Speaker: Juan Diego Morales (Universidad de Cartagena, Colombia)
Abstract: In this presentation I argue that religion implies the empirical and testable, although non-scientific hypothesis that God’s personal action is non-reducible to and ineliminable from the natural world. Much of the argument focuses on the thesis of the causal closure or completeness of nature that most scientists, philosophers, and theologians accept. I argue that the consequences of this thesis are devastating for religion, making it ontologically and epistemologically dispensable. But I show how, in fact, contemporary sciences support a conception of the natural world as much more causally open, on which religion should be empirically structured.
