SKEPTICAL THEISM AND THE CREEP PROBLEM (pages 349-362)

Scott AIKIN, Brian RIBEIRO

ABSTRACT: Skeptical theism is the view that human knowledge and understanding are severely limited, compared to that of the divine. The view is deployed as an undercutting defeater for evidential arguments from evil. However, skeptical theism has broader skeptical consequences than those for the argument from evil. The epistemic principles of this skeptical creep are identified and shown to be on the road to global skepticism.
