Idea of God innate
Monday 11 February

So much so, he said, that the idea of God is almost innate. Antony Flew, in his book “There is a God”, sees this as a prima facie argument against atheism. So, while Plantinga argued that theists did not bear the burden of proof, McInerny went still further, holding that the burden of proof must fall on atheists! Flew’s current position is that, given adequate grounds for belief in God, theists commit no philosophical sin in so believing.
