Abstract

Reformed epistemology and cognitive science have remarkably converged on belief in God.Reformed epistemology holds that belief in God is basicthat is, belief in God is a natural, non-inferential belief that is immediately produced by a cognitive faculty.Cognitive science of religion also holds that belief in gods is (often) non-reflectively and instinctively produced-that is, non-inferentially and automatically produced by a cognitive faculty or system.But there are differences.In this paper, we will show some remarkable points of convergence, and a few points of divergence, between Reformed epistemology and the cognitive science of religion.
