Richard Swinburne presents a substantially rewritten & updated edition of his most celebrated book No other work has made a more powerful case for the probability of the existence of God Swinburne gives a rigorous & penetrating analysis of the most important arguments for theism the cosmological argument; arguments from the existence of laws of nature & the 'fine-tuning' of the universe; from the occurrence of consciousness & moral awareness; & from miracles & religious experience He claims that while none of these arguments are deductively valid they do give inductive support to theism & that even when the argument from evil is weighed against them taken together they offer good grounds to support the probability that there is a God The overall structure of the discussion & its conclusion have been retained for this new edition but much has been changed in order to strengthen the argumentation & to take account of Swinburne's subsequent work on the nature of consciousness & the problem of evil & of the latest philosophical & scientific writing especially in respect of the laws of nature & the argument from fine-tuning This is now the definitive version of a classic in the philosophy of religion
