| Summary: | In a recent article, David Kyle Johnson has claimed to have provided a refutation of skeptical theism. Johnsons refutation raises several interesting issues. But in this note, I focus on only onean implicit principle Johnson uses in his refutation to update probabilities after receiving new evidence. I argue that this principle is false. Consequently, Johnsons refutation, as it currently stands, is undermined. |
