'If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent him' - Swinburne
LINKS: Dawkins says kind of the same thing - Religion is a 'filler for the gaps in science.'
Swinburne brings a cumulative approach - Things add up and as they do the probability builds up, he has an inductive approach.
Example: 'I like the sun' is a SUBJECTIVE statement.
BUT
All the OBJECTIVE statements add up the SUBJECTIVE statements, like 'the sun is warm', 'my skin is most comfortable in this temperature' etc.
SO
SUBJECTIVE statements can be ssen as objective and valid.
