Is life a result of chance, or design? If God is loving and all-powerful, why does evil still exist? Is religious belief just a byproduct of undirected evolutionary processes? Or did God make sure humans would evolve in such a way as to believe? Are philosophers closed-minded about religion? And why is so much of philosophy of religion about GodÑbut not about gods?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Religion introduces students to some of the major traditional arguments for and against the existence of God.
