Summary: | Philosophers Smart and Haldane debate the enduring question of whether or not there is a God. Smart contends that theism is philosophically untenable and seeks to explain metaphysical truth in the light of total science. Haldane argues that the existence of the world and the possibility of our knowing about it depend on the existence of a creating, sustaining, personal God. Each responds to the other's argument.
