    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.

    When omni-theism predicts general facts like consciousness or moral order, the specific distributions of suffering, cognitive bias, and evolutionary waste are more parsimonious under physicalism.

    Key Terms

    Cognitive bias(in psychology and philosophy)
    A systematic error in how our brains process information—like always remembering the bad things that happened more than the good ones.
    Evolutionary waste(listed as one of the facts that need explanation)
    Inefficient or seemingly pointless features that evolution has left in organisms—like how humans have a tailbone we don't use, or how many genes don't code for anything useful.
    Parsimonious(as used in philosophy of science and logic)
    Simple and avoiding unnecessary complexity; preferring the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions or extra moving parts.
    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)
