Evidence and argument in thinking about the existence of God

Last updated on: December 7, 2025 at 7:55 pm By Dan Peterson

I’ve just begun looking at a book by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies that is entitled (in English) God: The Science, The Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution. I’m told that, in its original French edition, it has been a bestseller. Early in the book — which is roughly as far as I’ve gotten so far — the authors offer a brief but, I think, usefully clarifying discussion of “evidence” and “proof.” Absolute proof, they say, is — or...

On many pages of the new Interpreter Foundation website, you will see an invitation to “Subscribe to Our Mailing List.” Whether you like and appreciate what we do or merely want to keep up with the steady stream of vicious, rage-fueled inanity, buffoonery, and mendacity that we pump out, I hope that you will choose to do so. It will cost you nothing (beyond a few years of sanity and peace of mind). Last night, I finished Dr. Michael Nahm’s... Read more

The Daily Mail — a daily British middle-market tabloid — has often been criticized for unreliability, sensationalism, and inaccuracy. In February 2017, the English Wikipedia actually banned its use as a source. Happily, though, The Daily Mail has made a regular hobby of publishing sensationalistic articles about marginal or former Latter-day Saints — just Google “Daily Mail Mormon” to see what I mean — and this one is pretty much par for the course: “The REAL lives of Mormon...

I was pleased to be able to participate on Saturday evening in an Interpreter Foundation event, a program followed by a light dinner that was jointly organized by the Foundation and by his children, in celebration of my former teacher and longtime friend and colleague Noel Reynolds. The occasion was the presentation to Noel of a festschrift — a volume of essays by friends and associates, in his honor. It was a very pleasant evening, attended by a good... Read more

If you go to the home page of the Interpreter Foundation, you will find that the page has been fundamentally redesigned. It may take a while for you to become wholly accustomed to it, but I hope that you’ll come to appreciate it. The changes are very far from merely superficial and cosmetic. I’m very grateful to Allen Wyatt and Alan Sikes and the others from our side who saw this through to its current results. And you will... Read more

The Beatles, once again

A week or so ago, an intrepid critic of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced to a tough audience of similarly hostile critics that members of that Church hate and condemn the Beatles or, anyway, should hate and condemn them. Inspired by his research, I expressed my own disdain for the Beatles, and my righteous indignation against them, in a post that was rather cryptically titled “On my apparently deep dislike of the Beatles.” I’ve decided,...
