I am just putting some thoughts together and I do have another question.
For both deism and agnosticism, man is unable to know ‘god’. In deism ‘god’ will not be known, while in agnosticism ‘god’ cannot be known.
For a deist, ‘god’ (whether intelligent, sentient, or moral is another question altogether) is responsible for the creation of the universe but does not interfere.
For an agnostic, ‘god’ simply cannot be known (whether non-existent or existent) with our current understanding.
My question is, the deist arrives his conclusion by applying a synthetic a priori while the agnostic arrives at his conclusion but not applying synthetic a priori? |
