  • In this video I share with you a useful visual tool that I learned from the philosopher John Hawthorne for thinking about probabilistic reasoning, called the Bayesian Bar. This video provides an introduction to the bar and in another video, linked below, I'll show you how the bar relates to Bayes Theorem.

    You might also find it helpful to look at a short article I have written that introduces the Bayesian Bar -

    And here are two video links of John Hawthorne talking about and making use of the Bayesian Bar -

    This is not a video on the problem of evil. But if you want to learn about the way that evil can be thought of as evidence against theism that parallels what I say here, then have a look at the paper 'Evil and Evidence' by Matthew A. Benton, John Hawthorne, & Yoaav Isaacs. You can find a draft of their paper here - philpapers.org/archive/BENEAE...
    Paul Draper's work is also another place where you can read about how evil is evidence against theism that mirrors what I say here.

    In the entire video, the point of focus is Evil, it is the theme that drives that argument; how about, good; do we have good in the world? yes, evil and good go hand in hand, you can't argue evil in isolation like you did in that video. Both are largely man made. God in his wisdom created a superior being; man, Man in his superiority has the power to cause good and evil, hence God works through man, atheism would like a God who is a magician, but God is not like that, he gave man wisdom to do good and to stop evil.
