The Baha'i Studies Listserv Dear David,
Given the poor and outrightly mistaken understandings of the proofs of God found in Dawkins, Harris, Dennett and Hitchens, I would first determine if your atheist correspondents actually understand the proofs given. Moreover, did you direct them to Godel's version of the ontological proof, or Hartshorne's or Plantinga's or to Lane Craig's work? In my paper "Some Answered Questions - A Philosophical Perspective" (forthcoming publication by "Lights of Irfan") I examine the Master's proofs. I also get into these in "The New Atheism - a Philosophical Perspective" given at ABS and scheduled for a public lecture by the University of Northern British Columbia this Thursday. I can send you copies if you give me you e-mail address. Best wishes, Ian Kluge _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Friedman Sent: November 17, 2008 2:03 AM To: Baha'i Studies Subject: Baha'i proofs of the existence of God The Baha'i Studies Listserv Some years ago I sent 'Abdu'l-Baha's proof of God's existence from SAQ to a few atheists to see what they thought. It was not well received and they found a lot of problems with it. I'm interested to know other people's experience. I think 'Abdu'l-Baha's proofs in other places would be more likely to convince. I know there are public debates on the existence of God in America. Does 'Abdu'l-Baha offer any new arguments?
