    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The evidential force of general facts favoring omni-theism over source physicalism is at least significantly offset by more specific facts favoring source physicalism over omni-theism.

    If omni-theism's explanatory gain on general facts is purchased by invoking inscrutable divine purposes, then source physicalism's precise fit to specific biological and neurological data constitutes unrebutted net evidence.

    Key Terms

    Explanatory gain(as used in epistemology and logic)
    Actually helping us understand something better—if something doesn't explain anything or make things clearer, it has no explanatory gain.
    Inscrutable divine purposes(as a potential cost or weakness of relying on God to explain things)
    God's reasons or plans that are impossible for humans to understand or figure out.
    Precise fit to specific biological and neurological data(as a measure of how well source physicalism explains reality)
    How closely a theory matches what we actually observe in the brain, body, and behavior through scientific study.
    Unrebutted net evidence(as proof that one explanation is better than the other)
    Evidence that supports one idea over another, and no one has successfully challenged or disproven it.

    omni-theism(Used as the target hypothesis being challenged by probabilistic atheistic arguments)
    The belief in the existence of an omni-God (a God possessing all-encompassing attributes such as omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence)
    source physicalism(The alternative hypothesis employed in the low priors argument)
    An alternative hypothesis to omni-theism, posited as many times more probable than omni-theism; argued to be compatible with some forms of theism in which God is an emergent entity
