Why Open Theism Is Natural and Classical Theism Is Not

| 520 | |a The cognitive science of religion (CSR) indicates that belief in supernatural agents, or "gods", is underpinned by maturationally natural cognitive biases and systems (Natural Religion). It is unclear, however, whether theism is natural. Does the god concept that our cognitive biases and systems give rise to approximate theism? In other words, is Natural Religion "theism-tracking"? As Christian theologians have different views of what God is like, we argue that the answer depends partly on one’s model of God. We discuss two models: classical theism and open theism. We argue that classical theism is far from being natural. The classical divine attributes are very hard to comprehend. Moreover, people naturally conceptualize God as a special sort of person, but the classical God strongly deviates from our cognitive expectations about persons. Open theism is much more natural. However, recent findings in CSR challenge the suggestion that Natural Religion tracks open theism. The possibility that we are "born idolaters" rather than "born believers" might undermine the Christian doctrine of general revelation and attempts to make CSR compatible with theology. | ||
