"Bertrand Russell famously quipped that he didn't believe in God for the same reason
that he didn't believe in a teapot in orbit between the earth and Mars: it is a bizarre
assertion for which no evidence can be provided. Is belief in God really like belief
in Russell's teapot? Kenneth L. Pearce argues that God is no teapot. God is a real
answer to the deepest question of all: why is there something rather than nothing?
Graham Oppy argues that we should believe that there are none but natural causal entities
with none but natural causal properties--and hence should believe that there are no
gods. Beginning from this basic disagreement, the authors proceed to discuss and debate
a wide range of philosophical questions, including questions about explanation, necessity,
rationality, religious experience, mathematical objects, the foundations of ethics,
and the methodology of philosophy. Each author first presents his own side, and then
they interact through two rounds of objections and replies"
