God and Religion

This particular essay discusses the chapter “God and Religion” from Philosophy and Contemporary Issues by John Roy Burr and Milton Goldinger. From the chapter's inquiry into the existence of God, the paper addresses the construction of the debate including the scientific constraints of logic which fail to admit subjective experience, the inconsistency of the existence of evil and the existence of god, the nature of knowledge vs. that of empirical evidence, and the meaning of life without spirit.
