Inference to the Best Explanation, Naturalism, and Theism
De Ray argues that relying on inference to the best explanation (IBE) requires the metaphysical belief that most phenomena have explanations.

| Resumo: | De Ray argues that relying on inference to the best explanation (IBE) requires the metaphysical belief that most phenomena have explanations. I object that instead the metaphysical belief requires the use of IBE. De Ray uses IBE himself to establish theism that God is the cause of the metaphysical belief, and thus he has the burden of establishing the metaphysical belief independently of using IBE. Naturalism that the world is the cause of the metaphysical belief is preferable to theism, contrary to what de Ray thinks. |
