Skepticism/Religion

1) Explain and critically discuss the problem of hiddenness, and one response to the problem. Does the problem provide good reason to be skeptical about God’s existence? Why or why not?
2) Explain and critically evaluate the Design Argument, and how Darwin’s Theory of Evolution threatens to undermine it (including explanation of the basic principles of natural selection)
3) What is Descartes’ “evil demon” hypothesis? Why does he introduce this into his discussion?
4) Explain and critically discuss one of Berkeley’s arguments for his idealistic theory.
5) Is it possible for us to truly know that the material or physical world exists? Why or why not? Support your answers with reasons, and include discussion of Berkeley’s/Descartes arguments.
