Skeptical Theism Remains Refuted: a Reply to Perrine
In my 2013 article A Refutation of Skeptical Theism, I argued that observing seemingly unjustified evils (SUEs) always reduces the probability of Gods existence.

| Résumé: | In my 2013 article A Refutation of Skeptical Theism, I argued that observing seemingly unjustified evils (SUEs) always reduces the probability of Gods existence. When figuring the relevant probabilities, I used a basic probability calculus that simply distributes the probability of falsified hypotheses equally. In 2015, Timothy Perrine argued that, since Bayes Theorem doesnt always equally distribute the probability of falsified hypotheses, my argument is undermined unless I can also show that my thesis follows on a Bayesian analysis. It is the purpose of this paper to meet that burden. |
