Abstract
In this article, I classify Richard Swinburne’s apologetic strategy for
theism, and raise eight structural problems with regard to his Bayesian approach.
For example, is theism really a meaningful theory? Does it have any predictive
power? If so, isn’t theism a degenerating research programme? Furthermore, is it
legitimate to immunize theism against empirical refutations? Is Swinburne’s tactic
of doing so successful?
