How to Know Who Should Take an Outsider Test and When
John Loftus’s Outsider Test for Faith (OTF) has become rather infamous. More infamous than is warranted, since Matt Flannagan (among many others) has shown its incoherence. But ignoring that, Paul Manata now crushes the OTF‘s relevance by asking the question: should we take it, or shouldn’t we? “The answer, if you’re wondering, is that hardly anyone should take an outsider test.”
“However, it could just as easily be applied to ……..scientific beliefs”
Ah, no.
Ah, yes.
