“God Loves Us”: Theology and Falsification Reexamined

Dialogue 22 (2):229-237 (1983)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Some have argued that because factually meaningful assertions must be falsifiable, putative theistic assertions such as “God loves us” are not meaningful because they are not falsifiable. It is further suggested that every attempt to make a factually significant theistic assertion founders on the same shoal of falsifiability.
