    Key Terms

    Evidential argument(as used in logic and argumentation)
    A type of argument that uses evidence to show something is probably true, rather than definitely true—like saying 'these clues suggest the butler did it' instead of 'the butler definitely did it.'
    Moral facts
    Facts about goodness, reasons, and obligations; normative facts about what matters.
    cosmological fine-tuning(as used in philosophy of religion and metaphysics)
    The observation that the universe's physical constants and conditions seem precisely calibrated to allow life to exist, which some people argue points to intelligent design.
    evidential partition(as used in epistemology)
    A dividing line or boundary that separates different types of evidence into different groups.
    intrinsically limited(as used in philosophy generally)
