According to The Debunking Argument , evidence from the cognitive science of religion suggests that it is epistemically inappropriate to persist in believing in the theistic God. In this paper, I focus on a reply to this argument according to which the evidence from cognitive science says nothing about the epistemic propriety of belief in the theistic God, since God may have chosen to create human beliefs in God by means of precisely the systems identified by cognitive scientists. I argue that this reply can be extended to a variety of non-theistic contexts, and consequently that if the reply is sound, then the scope of The Debunking Argument is surprisingly limited.

揭穿无神论信仰的前景

根据揭穿论证，来自宗教认知科学的证据表明，坚持相信有神论的上帝在认识上是不合适的。在这篇论文中，我重点回答了这一论点，根据该论点，认知科学的证据没有说明信仰有神论的上帝的认知适当性，因为上帝可能选择通过精确的系统来创造人类对上帝的信仰由认知科学家确定。我认为这个答复可以扩展到各种非有神论的背景，因此，如果答复是合理的，那么“揭穿论证”的范围就出人意料地有限。
